We thank KOLAS, Korea very much for hosting the recent ISO/IEC 17011 training course, the MRA Council and Board of Management meetings. The meetings were very successful and we especially appreciate KOLAS's hospitality, hosting the very enjoyable MRA Council dinner and entertainment.
At the recent MRA Council meeting PNGLAS (PNG) was accepted as a signatory to the APLAC MRA for testing and the recognition of A2LA (USA) was extended to include ISO 15189. Congratulations to PNGLAS and A2LA!
Congratulations also go to PAO (Philippines) for the continuation of its signatory status for testing and calibration.
These were the last meetings for Helen Liddy as APLAC Secretary. Helen retired from NATA at the end of June and we wish her all the very best for the future.
