Abstract	After many years and having several different attempts for the accreditation of proficiency testing provider (PT provider), there is finally one stand-alone standard defining the requirements for the competence of PT providers and therefore an internationally harmonised basis for the accreditation of proficiency test providers. Since February 2010, the ISO/IEC 17043:2010 has replaced ISO/IEC Guide 43:1997 and ILAC G 13:2007. The philosophy of the standard about subcontracting work is different to this of the standards mostly used for accreditation like ISO/IEC 17025:2005 or ISO/IEC 17020:2004, etc. Besides the planning of the proficiency tests (PT), the performance evaluation and the authorisation of the PT reports the ISO/IEC 17043:2010 allows subcontracting for the rest of the work when providing PTs. This is a challenge for the assessors to judge about the competence of a PT provider. In numerous paragraphs, the standard sets very detailed requirements. Nevertheless, there is room for interpretation. For these cases, for example, contracts for subcontractors, procedure for the advisory board, minimum requirements for PT certificates, etc., some proposals are given to enable harmonised approach for the assessment of PT providers.
