There were an insufficient number of participants reporting on the same instrument/
reagent for that sample at the time of the sample close. Although there must be at least
9 accepted peer‑specific results for a formal comparison to be made at the Peer level,
laboratories should evaluate their peer comparison when fewer than 9 participants’
results were accepted. The EQAS Program comparator for that analyte/sample
combination will however, be made at a Method or Mode/All Results level depending on
the number of accepted results.
