AOIL India Virtual Webinar
by Dimitrios Katsieris, IAS Senior Global Manager
On April 19th, IAS participated in the 4th Congress of Indian Laboratories, organized by AOIL (Association of Indian Laboratories),
with a theme: “SYNERGY AMONG LABORATORIES, ACCREDITATION
BODIES AND REGULATORS, INVOLVED IN PROVIDING QUALITY
INFRASTRUCTURE”. Mr. Dimitrios Katsieris, Senior Global Manager
for Testing Laboratories and Food Accreditation Programs, made a
presentation of the Conformity Assessment Structure, the Importance of Accreditation and the synergies that are necessary between
Accreditation Bodies and Regulators in order to meet the end user
needs for a safer and better world as a Guest of Honor.
The event was attended by representatives from several government
and private laboratories in India, Accreditation Bodies and Regulators.
The Association of Indian Laboratories (AOIL) is a registered, nonprofit making body that aims to serve as a common platform for all
four disciplines of lab services across India; Testing, Calibration,
GLP, and Medical.
IAS supports such initiatives around the world and contributes to the
world conformity assessment structure by promoting the accreditation concept, cooperation between peers and knowledge sharing.
