EPT Committee
External Proficiency Testing (EPT) is a mandatory part of the EFI accreditation process for Histocompatibility and Immunogenetics (H&I) laboratories. The major goal of the EFI EPT Committee (EPTC) is to harmonise EPT for H&I affiliated with EFI.
Committee members
The members of the EFI EPTC serve as Regional EPT Coordinators. These Regional EPT Coordinators work closely with their respective Regional EFI Commissioners to ensure compliance with the EPT Standards. The EPT Coordinators are responsible for advising and supporting EFI-accredited laboratories, as well as those laboratories actively seeking EFI accreditation and EPT Organisers, in meeting these standards.
