Workshop on Harmonization of Assessors, TSC, and LAC

          The workshop on Harmonization of Assessors, TSC, and LAC was held on 7-8 May 2015 by Bureau of Laboratory Accreditation – Department of Science Service (BLA-DSS) at the Royal River Kwai Resort & Spa, Kanchanaburi. The participants were our lead assessors, assessors, technical assessors, technical subcommittees, and laboratory accreditation committees in different fields such as Chemistry, Microbiology and Physics. It was a great pleasure to welcome Mr. Kelvin Shih, Vice CEO of Taiwan Accreditation Foundation (TAF) as our guest speaker.

          In agreement with the main responsibilities of the Bureau of Laboratory Accreditation, we provide accreditation services to both government and private sectors according to international standard, ISO/IEC 17011: Conformity assessment – General requirements for accreditation bodies in the scope of testing laboratory, proficiency testing provider, and reference material producer. The harmonization activity enabled participants to share their experiences that they had encountered during assessments, committee meetings and so on. BLA-DSS will summarize the outcome of this workshop and distribute to participants to follow in the same manner.
