    Abstract:
    Data and results from interlaboratory comparison (ILC) studies, external quality assessment (EQA) and proficiency testing (PT) activities are important and valuable contributions both to the further development of all disciplines of medical laboratory diagnostics, and to the evaluation and comparison of in vitro diagnostic assays. So far, however, there are no recommendations as to which essential items should be addressed in publications on interlaboratory comparisons. The European Organization of External Quality Assurance Providers in Laboratory Medicine (EQALM) recognized the need for such recommendations, and these were developed by a group of experts. The result of this endeavor is the EQALM Statement on items recommended to be addressed in publications on interlaboratory comparison activities (PubILC), in conjunction with a user-friendly checklist. Once adopted by authors and journals, the EQALM Statement will ensure essential information and/or study-related facts are included within publications on EQA/PT activities.
