A metrological background for the selection and use of proficiency testing (PT) schemes for a limited number N of laboratories-participants (less than 20-30) is discussed. The following basic scenarios are taken into account: (1) adequate matrix certified reference materials (CRM) or in-house reference materials (IHRM) with traceable property values are available for PT use as test items; (2) no appropriate matrix CRM is available, but a CRM or IHRM with traceable property values can be applied as a spike or similar; (3) only an IHRM with limited traceability is available. The discussion also considers the effect of a limited population of PT participants N-p on statistical assessment of the PT results for a given sample of N responses from this population. When N-p is finite and the sample fraction N/N-p is not negligible, a correction to the statistical parameters may be necessary. Scores suitable for laboratory performance assessment in such PT schemes are compared.
