Laboratory Development towards Accreditation
Competency is becoming a key factor in today’s life and it is becoming essential for laboratories to be able to demonstrate their competency in order to compete. Accreditation is one of the most important tools for ensuring competence and providing confidence in the accuracy and reliability of testing and calibration results. Laboratories use accreditation to prove their competency and that they meet international standards.
