FMIPA USU – Medan
Testing laboratories serve as facilities for conducting technical activities involving personnel to carry out testing, aiming to produce results with specific purposes. ISO 17025 serves as the competency standard for testing and calibration laboratories. This standard is an international reference for laboratories performing calibration and testing activities worldwide. Essentially, the purpose of laboratory activities is to obtain valid and widely trusted testing and calibration results. Based on this, one of the laboratories in the Biology Study Program at FMIPA conducted an accreditation assessment for ISO 17025 implementation on September 21–22, 2023.
The accreditation assessment of the FMIPA Microbiology Testing Laboratory was conducted by an assessor team led by Ms. Murtiningsih, M.App.Sc., and team member Ms. Ratri Alfitasari, S.T., M.Sc., from the National Accreditation Committee (KAN). The event was attended by the Dean, Vice Deans, Head and Secretary of the Biology Study Program, microbiology teaching staff, and laboratory technicians.
