QCC holds development programs in Abu Dhabi

The Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council (QCC) hosted a series of development programs in Abu Dhabi and Al Ain to ensure the competency of testing and calibration labs across the emirate.

Drawing the participation of 40 technicians and managers from the private sector and certification bodies, the training programs offer insights into ISO/IEC 17025 standards for testing and calibration labs.

The workshops aim to develop the competency level of testing and calibration labs in Abu Dhabi and their level of ability to produce validated results as part of QCC’s priority to improve competency levels in the emirate and align them with best-in-class global standards.

Medical labs, which are not included in this phase of the program, will be covered early next month.

“In our ongoing pursuit to enhance the quality infrastructure and services in Abu Dhabi, QCC prioritizes the continuous improvement of our technical capabilities and related infrastructure to meet the evolving standard requirements of Abu Dhabi in order to enable both regulators and industry," Mohammed Helal Al Balooshi, marketing and communications acting director at Abu Dhabi Quality and Conformity Council, said. "Our latest series of development programs reflect QCC’s proactive approach to enabling stakeholders and fulfilling the requirements of industry for cutting-edge testing and calibration services."
