Forensic Proficiency Test Status

The following charts show the current test status for each discipline. If a test has not yet shipped then the estimated ship month is shown in parentheses. Once the test ships the Data Due Date is set and the PDF version of the data sheet is available through the green link. The dates for the release of the Manufacturer's Information and Summary Report are also scheduled once a test ships and are shown in parentheses. Once these reports are posted they are available through the green links.

Please note that dates in parentheses are estimated; the ship date is subject to change without notice, and the Summary Report is often posted earlier than scheduled.
