FAPAS Proficiency testing
Proving to customers that your organisation has quality systems in place is an important part of building long term relationships and securing future business.
Proficiency testing is an independent check of your laboratory procedures providing you with a completely confidential assessment of your capability. Not only does participation in the relevant testing schemes allow you to demonstrate your systems and the technical ability of your staff, it will also help you gain ISO/17025 accreditation.
FAPAS proficiency testing services are managed by The Food and Environment Research Agency (an Executive Agency of the UK Government Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs).
