The Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS) on Friday announced that its Industrial Metrology and Testing (IMT) Laboratory is now accredited to the International Standard ISO/IEC 17025:2017 – General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories.
In a statement, the GNBS said the achievement came in wake of the lab undergoing an assessment audit of its calibration services by an International Registrar.
“The ISO/IEC 17025:2017 specifies the general requirements for the competence, impartiality, and consistent operation of laboratories. Compliance with the standard guarantees international acceptance of test results from accredited laboratories,” it explained.
