Pilot schemes are typically subsidised and may cost less than accredited EQA schemes. As pilot schemes are still under evaluation, they are not covered by EMQN’s accreditation scope and do not include an appeals process.
Some pilot schemes operate on an expression of interest basis, meaning registration does not guarantee participation. To register your interest, simply select and purchase the scheme. In most cases, the registration fee will be £0.00 at the point of sign-up. If a fee applies, it will only be charged to laboratories selected to participate and added to their invoice.
You will be notified whether your laboratory has been selected.
