Test Veritas, with 28 years of experience as a Proficiency Testing Scheme (PTS) provider, is pleased to announce the launch of its new program, Progetto Trieste 2026. This program is more cutting-edge than ever, designed to meet the most complex and current analytical needs.
Accredited Quality and Global Vision
Internationally recognized, Progetto Trieste: Proficiency Testing Schemes continues to operate under the UNI EN ISO/IEC 17043:2010 accreditation issued by ACCREDIA. This accreditation is the cornerstone of our offer, guaranteeing participating laboratories the reliability and competence necessary for evaluating their analytical performance within the scope of accredited quality and international experience.
The detailed list of accredited schemes is available for consultation on both the ACCREDIA website and our company website.
The Innovations of Progetto Trieste 2026
The 2026 program is the result of carefully listening to market needs; laboratories require precise, reliable, and innovative solutions. Progetto Trieste 2026 meets this challenge with a series of new PTs that reflect the growing attention toward food safety in critical and niche food matrices. These new schemes offer laboratories opportunities for a greater diversification of external evaluation for their analytical tests.
Participating in Progetto Trieste means choosing reliability, international experience, and tailored solutions, with unique schemes that are difficult to find elsewhere.
