Z-Score Summary - Concrete Proficiency Testing Program (70) Z-SCORES SUMMARY. Concrete April 2017 (70)

Transcription

1 Z-SCORES SUMMARY Concrete April 2017 (70) The proficiency program was conducted in April 2017 with participants throughout Australia. AS 1012 test methods were preferred but other methods were allowed in this program. This summary provides the z-scores for the following tests. Compressive Strength Mass per Unit Volume A z-score summary is provided to allow participants to gauge performance and address outliers as early as possible. It is recommended that any remedial action be undertaken cautiously until the final report for the program has been consulted. Evaluation of the homogeneity test results indicated that sample A and B were homogenous. However, evaluation of participants results indicated that there were variations associated with cylinder production. Consequently, both sample A and B were split into two. Participants will find that their code appears once in either sample A1 or A2 and in either B1 or B2. Participants may forward the summary report to NATA as an indication of a participant s general performance. The z-scores shown are unlikely to change significantly. Small changes however may become necessary during preparation of the final report. The final report provides other information, apart from z-scores, that may be used to access performance and interpret the significance of outliers. The final report once issued supersedes the z-score summary. All participants need to assess their overall performance once the final report has been issued.
