  10. TRTA ACHIEVEMENTS A. Conformity assessment services covering standardization, certification, calibration and accreditation. PSQCA: Establishment of Consumer Liaison Office (CLO) Establishment of Systems Certification Body (SCB) Establishment of WTO National Enquiry Point (NEP) on standards and technical regulations Preparation of the Microbiology Testing Lab for accreditation Assisting pilot companies to develop the documentation and self-declaration of CE Marking: Sport Goods, Surgical Instruments, Home appliances, Electric Fans & Cutlery

  11. PNAC • Upgrading PNAC to meet the needs for accrediting conformity assessment bodies • ISO 17011 requirements for the Competence of Calibration and Testing Laboratories • ISO 17025 criteria for the operation of various types of bodies performing inspection • ISO 17020 requirements for Bodies Operating Assessment and Certification/Registration of Quality Systems. ISO Guide 62. • NPSL: • Upgrading NPSL labs for mass, dimensional, volume, pressure, temperature and electrical quantities developed • Provision of state-of-the-art metrology equipment. E1 Class Weights (national reference standard for mass) and mass comparator.

  12. B. Laboratory Accreditation The 2004-2007 TRTA support provided in strengthening this area included: Preparation of the 19 testing labs for accreditation by providing: Expert advice on lab layout, testing activities and quality documentation Technical literature and manuals Reference cultures Participation in international PT schemes Initial assessments by Norwegian Accreditation (NA) Accreditation of labs by NA expected by September 2007
