Medical - Medical: Pharmaceuticals
German term or phrase: Ringversuchszertifikat
This term appers in a listing of criteria for the monitoring of clinical trial sites. Others are: Return of investigational drugs, verification of drug identification, etc.
Is the English term "ring testing certificate" here appropriate? And what is "ring testing"?
thanks.

  -> many many references on Google, but most are from the EU. http://mutage.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/6/6/47... The UK reference I found says "ring testing'.

Reference: Info

Reference information:
Ein Ringversuch oder Ringvergleich bzw. Laborleistungstest (engl. round robin test / proficiency test) ist eine Methode der externen Qualitätssicherung für Messverfahren und Mess- und Prüflaboratorien. Grundsätzlich werden identische Proben mit identischen Verfahren oder mit unterschiedlichen Verfahren untersucht. Der Vergleich der Ergebnisse erlaubt es, Aussagen über die Messgenauigkeit generell bzw. über die Messqualität der beteiligten Institute zu machen. Ringversuche werden zudem zur Validierung von Vorschriften für Messverfahren verwendet.

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ringversuch

In experimental methodology, a round robin test is a test (measurement, analysis, or experiment) performed independently several times. This can involve multiple independent scientists performing the test with the use of the same method in different equipment, or a variety of methods and equipment. In reality it is often a combination of the two, for example if a sample is analysed, or one (or more) of its properties is measured by different laboratories using different methods, or even just by different units of equipment of identical construction.

Ringversuche
Allgemein
Ringversuche, in denen gleichartige Proben durch unterschiedliche Laboratorien analysiert werden, spielen eine wichtige Rolle bei
1. der Adaptierung und Standardisierung von Messverfahren,
2. der Validierung von Messverfahren,
3. der Bewertung von Laboratorien sowie
4. der Herstellung von Referenzmaterialien.
Ringversuche bilden neben der laboreigenen internen Qualitätskontrolle ein unersetzliches Werkzeug zur Beurteilung der Laboratoriums- oder Methodenqualität.

Interlaboratory tests
In general
Interlaboratory studies within which homogeneous samples are analysed by different laboratories play an important role in
1. the optimization and evaluation of measurement or analytical methods,
2. the assessment of laboratories as well as
3. the certification of reference materials.
Besides the in-house quality control, interlaboratory studies form an indispensable tool for the assessment of the quality of laboratories and methods.
