With the successful completion of a one-week long training for its lead assessors, Papua New Guinea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme has reached a milestone to regain recognition by the international community on laboratory accreditation (ILAC). PNG Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (PNGLAS) is a structure that delivers accreditation certificates to testing laboratories nationally. This function is crucial to ascertain that test or measuring equipment calibration results undertaken are reliable and can be compared to those produced by other labs abroad. Without this recognition, goods produced in PNG that are certified by our laboratories cannot compete equally with others.
