Individual laboratory reports share the following features:
Summary of analytical and interpretative scores;
Educational comments on the submitted individual reports which may incur penalties;
General comments, recommendations and performance status.
In addition to the ILRs, laboratories receive a summary letter which includes the performance score distributions.
Pilot EQAs usually involve one single case and is not usually scored, so no performance status is given. Consequently, the pilot EQAs are not listed on the performance certificates.
