EQAS

NATIONAL EXTERNAL QUALITY ASSESSMENT

The NRLEOHTM offers a proficiency program tailored for laboratories engaged in measuring drug of abuse parameters in urine and bacteriological parameters in water. This initiative aims to provide these laboratories with an independent evaluation of their screening and analytical capabilities. The program is instrumental in aiding laboratories to monitor the extent of variability and bias present in their assays. Additionally, participation in this proficiency program is a prerequisite for drug test laboratories and water testing laboratories seeking accreditation from the Department of Health (DOH).
