1st March 2012 saw two UKAS assessors at the EffecTech laboratory in Doha, Qatar. The assessors were auditing the laboratory against the requirements of ISO 17025 for testing and calibration.
Following clearance of a few improvement actions, UKAS will recommend the laboratory to be accredited to the standard. This will allow high quality calibration gases to be sourced from within the State of Qatar for the substantial and ever expanding gas processing plants in the country.
