Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.INTRODUCTIONProficiency testing is the use of interlaboratory test comparisons to determine the performance ofindividual laboratories for specific

3、 tests and to monitor the consistency and comparability of alaboratorys test data.Participation in proficiency testing programs provides laboratories with an objective means ofassessing and demonstrating the reliability of the data they are producing. Although there are severaltypes of proficiency t

4、esting programs, they all share the common feature of the comparison of testresults obtained by two or more laboratories.One of the main uses of proficiency testing programs is to assess laboratories ability to performtests competently. This will involve the preparation of the test specimens, calibr

5、ating or validating thetesting equipment, performing the tests and reporting the data.Bodies assessing the technical competence of testing laboratories normally require or expectsatisfactory participation in proficiency testing as evidence of a laboratorys ability to produce reliabletest results.1.

26、rialsare considered to be laboratory samples cut from the samebatch sample (roll or garment lot) and selected at random forthe participant laboratories.4.2 This proficiency test program is to be considered afull-scale interlaboratory test, in which a reasonably largenumber of laboratories participat

27、e by testing a series ofmaterials using one or more operators per laboratory and reportthe data for analysis.4.2.1 For the purposes of this guide, Full Scale LaboratoryTest is defined in Practice D 2904. This is not to be confusedwith the full scale testing terminology and definitions whichappear in

28、 other test methods, such as flammability, thatdescribe the size of the specimens being tested.4.3 The statistical data generated by this practice provideinformation needed to exhibit participation in a formal profi-ciency test study.4.4 All data are submitted to the program coordinator atASTM Headq

29、uarters for the preparation and distribution of theproficiency testing program reports. All laboratory data areconfidential with no disclosure of lab identity except for eachparticipants own laboratory. Published reports contain alllaboratory test data (coded), statistical analysis of test data,char

30、ts plotting test results versus lab code, and other informa-tion.5. Materials to be Used in Study5.1 Mechanical Testing ProgramThree types of materialsare to be included in the study. The materials shall be describedas light, medium and heavy as defined by the breakingstrengths. The materials to be

31、used for this study shall beselected by the Subcommittee D13.93 with assistance fromparticipant laboratories and pertinent subcommittees. An ac-credited laboratory selected by the Subcommittee D13.93 shallact as host and maintain these materials. The host laboratoryshall not be held responsible for

32、the performance of the testmaterials at the participant laboratories.5.2 Flammability Test ProgramAt least seven types offabrics are to be available for the study, not all of which will beused at the same time. The materials shall be described by fibertype, construction type (woven, knit, nonwoven),

33、 surfacecharacteristics and fabric weight as defined by the flammabilitycharacteristics. The fabrics to be used for this study shall beselected by the Subcommittee D13.93. An accredited labora-tory selected by the Subcommittee D13.93 shall act as the hostand maintain these fabrics. The host laborato

34、ry shall not beD 6674 01 (2009)2held responsible for the performance of the materials at theparticipant laboratories.6. Distribution of Test Materials6.1 The proficiency test program is designed for the testmaterials to be distributed at a minimum two times eachcalendar yearFebruary and August. Each

35、 participating labo-ratory shall apply throughASTM Headquarters for inclusion inthe program.6.2 The materials will be distributed by having the hostlaboratory cut fabric samples from each batch roll or garmentlot. The samples will be identified, labeled and mailed to eachparticipating laboratory. AS

36、TM Headquarters will providedetailed instruction sheets and mailing labels to the hostlaboratory.6.3 Instructions for testing, recording data and return; formsand fabric samples will be mailed together as instructed.7. Selection of Test Methods7.1 For Mechanical TestingThe test methods shall beselec

37、ted and monitored by the Subcommittee D13.93. Theprotocol of this guide may not include the entire scope ofmethods used for testing fabric, but will include at least onemechanical test from the fields used to define woven fabricproperties such as construction, air permeability and strength.Other met

38、hods may be added or deleted as directed by D13.93with input from ASTM staff, participating laboratories, andpertinent Sub-Committee.7.1.1 The methods to be used for this guide are as follows:D 737 Air Permeability of Textile FabricsD 2261 Tearing Strength By Tongue Method (CRE Type Instrument)D 377

39、5 Fabric Count of Woven FabricD 5034 Breaking Strength and Elongation of Textile Fabrics (GrabTest)D 5035 Breaking Strength and Elongation of Textile Fabrics (StripTest)7.2 For Flammability TestingThe test methods shall beselected and monitored by the subcommittee D13.93. Theprotocol of this guide m

40、ay not include the entire scope ofmethods used for testing fabrics, but will include at least oneflammability test from the fields used to define characteristicsof the end use product.NOTE 1D13.52 is preparing two additional testing protocols to beused in conjunction with the flammability tests. The

41、 criteria are beingestablished for lab personnel to identify the types of product being testedand a comprehensive exam for the scope of testing.7.2.1 The methods to be used for this guide are as follows:D 1230 Flammability of Apparel FabricsD 6545 Flammability of Textiles Used in Childrens Sleepwear

42、8. Sampling8.1 Sampling of MaterialsThe host laboratory shall allo-cate enough material to provide for all participating laborato-ries to perform the complete scope of testing for the program.8.2 Numbers of DeterminationsEach participating labshall prepare the test specimens and number of determinat

43、ions(replicates) as directed by the proficiency testing program.9. Data Reporting9.1 All data shall be reported as instructed using the formssupplied with the material package.9.2 Outlying ObservationsAll data shall be reported.Exceptions to this general policy should be made only whenassignable cau

44、ses for deletion of a test value are present. Incases where there is no assignable cause for a test value beingout of line, the test value shall be retained and reported.10. Report10.1 Table of Results pages provides a listing of laboratorieswith corresponding test results. Each laboratory is identi

45、fied bya randomly selected code with the same laboratory codeapplying throughout the entire report. To maintain confidenti-ality of test data, the identification of lab codes will not bereleased from ASTM. Therefore, program participants will beable to identify only their own test data. The laborato

46、ryidentification code may change with subsequent reports. Eachtable page contains a heading identifying the method and testfabric.10.2 Lab Average column contains the lab average asreported to ASTM by the participating laboratories.10.3 The Lab Range column represents the difference be-tween the lab

47、s lowest and highest of the raw data results.10.4 Description of Z-Score ColumnThe Z-Score column(comparable to the Students t statistic) reports each labsdeviation in units of standard deviations. The Z Score is thecalculated number of standard deviations a sample mean isabove or below the populati

48、on mean. The criteria for the ZScores will be as follows:Z 3 = unsatisfactoryZ-Scores outside this range should occur only about one timein twenty, if a laboratory has average capability running themethod. Laboratories should strive to obtain Z Score valuesclose to zero. The Z-Score is calculated as

49、 follows:Z Score 5lab average total average! / total standard deviation10.5 Identification of Outlier DataDuring the analyticalreview of the data it was observed that when including all datain the calculation of the Overall Average and Std. Deviation, insome cases, the averages and standard deviations are adverselyaffected by outlier data. Therefore, through two iterations ofcalculations, labs who had a Z-Score Value of 6 3 or greaterhave been asterisked in the table. These data, while stillincluded in the tables, have not been included in the
