ABSTRACT

Purpose: Formation of the idea of laboratories accredited by Accreditation System of Russian Federation, in particular radiation control laboratories, about the possibility of confirming technical competence by means of participation in interlaboratory comparison tests at international level.

Content: Description of the experience of successful passing the international comparisons by radiation control laboratories under up-to-date requirements.

Conclusion: The experience described in the article can be used by accredited laboratories in practice for conformity validation with accreditation criteria.

Key words: radiation control laboratory, interlaboratory comparison tests, competence
