Training for reference materials was held - ISO 17034:2016

During the previous week, in the Palace of Serbia, with the help of TAIEX training was held for the accreditation of reference materials according to the standard ISO 17034:2016.

A training was held by colleagues from Greece: Dr. Ioannis Sitaras, director of the department for the accreditation laboratories in the Hellenic Accreditation System (ESYD), and Dr. Harris Alexopoulos, manager of the National laboratory for Food Testing.  

The main aim of the Expert Mission for ATS is to provide training of assessors and ATS staff for the requirements of the standard ISO 17034:2016 General requirements for the competence of reference material producers and advice regarding the implementation of EU legislation in the field of reference material producers and other relevant documents. 

With this event, ATS expects to receive professional assistance in the development of a new accreditation scheme for reference material producers. The help of TAIEX experts is extremely important on this path of development. The next step shall lead to the realization of the first assessment in this field, which shall be observed by ATS assessors for the purpose of their training.

This is very important for the Republic of Serbia to get accredited reference material producers whose competence has been confirmed in the accreditation process. 

ATS thanks the TAIEX experts as well as all colleagues who participated in the mentioned training.
