Comments :
The Laboratory is involved in various analytical activities including chemical and microbiology. The laboratory is putting in place a Quality Management System based on ISO/IEC 17025. Accreditation of the laboratory is one of its key objectives. However, this has not yet been achieved since key analytical equipment such as AAS, GC, GC-MS, etc has just been acquired and is not yet installed.
