These tests may be subscribed to either as an “external” or “internal” subscriber. For each of these the test distribution itself will be identical.

For internal subscribers, a series of reports will be returned that will outline the test’s manufacture, assessment points, individual assessment results and statistical results for all participants. These are meant primarily for internal use only. For external subscribers, your group’s assessment results may also be submitted to an accrediting body. This is meant to assist in attaining or maintaining accreditation.
