The Directorate of Laboratories has long-advocated that the testing methods employed be operated to the highest international standard. The laboratories have regularly participated in correlation competency schemes guided by internationally-recognized bodies such as BP (British Petroleum) and the IIS (Institute of Interlaboratory Studies). The trust of our customers continues to be of paramount importance. With this in mind, our laboratories are currently working towards achieving ISO 17025 accreditation. This particular international standard embraces the standard of management, personnel, equipment and methods & procedures used by each of the labs. This accreditation has been sponsored by Qualeb phase III program through MOU signed on April 2013 between the Ministry of Energy and Water, and Ministry of Economy aand Trade, funded by the EU and is expected to be completed by mid 2014.
