Dr. André Gordon, Managing Director of Technological Solutions Limited

A Jamaica-based regional provider of technical and scientific services, Technological Solutions Limited (TSL), has become the first such institution in the Caribbean to secure accreditation for its laboratory from the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA).

A2LA, which has been in existence for more than four decades is among the oldest and most respected laboratory accreditation bodies in the world and has over 3,000 accredited laboratories in over 45 countries globally, a release sent to the Stabroek Business by the Kingston Communication Consultants, Berl Francis and Associates says.

The release states that TSL, which has now transferred its ISO 17025 accreditation to A2LA, is now part of an “elite global group of laboratories” and by virtue of its new accreditation now also has access to A2LA’s “significant technical assistance programmes and expertise, as well as its network of accredited laboratories.”
