CITE calibration laboratory in Cebu City meets ISO standards

Electrical and electronics companies and manufacturing firms in the Visayas and Mindanao may now find relief from issues related to meeting calibration standards of the global market.

The Center for Industrial Technology and Enterprise (CITE) Electrical Standards and Testing Laboratory or CITE Calibration Laboratory has been validated to conform the requirements of the Philippine National Standard/ International Standard Organization/ International Electrotechnical Committee (PNS ISO/IEC) 17025:2000.

The Philippine Accreditation Office (PAO) of the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) issued the certificate of accreditation to CITE Electrical Standards and Testing Laboratory on August 22 at CITE.

DTI Undersecretary Zenaida Maglaya handed in the certificate of accreditation to CITE president Pedro Dimaculangan in a simple ceremony attended by Rene Burt Llanto, Department of Science and Technology-7 director; John Manzanas, National Program Manager of Private Enterprise Accelerated Resource Linkages (Pearl2) Project, Jens Funk of Deutcher Entwicklungsdienst (DED-Philippines); and members of the CITE board of trustees, management, and staff.

PAO evaluated the laboratory's capabilities, in both management and technical aspects, based on international standards through a rigorous laboratory accreditation scheme.

CITE calibration laboratory was found to have complied with internationally accepted standards of quality, performance, technical expertise and competence.

CITE calibration laboratory, which is located in San Jose, Cebu City, has been servicing industry partner companies by providing them with a wide gamut of top-quality calibration services and fast turn-around time.

Its management and staff have ensured that all activities are conducted in accordance with the company procedures and in compliance with the requirements of PNS ISO/IEC 17025:2000.

Having established on June 6, 2003, as partner of DOST-7 to expand the capability of its Regional Standard and Testing Center, CITE calibration laboratory received financial and technical support from Consuelo Foundation Inc., TESDA, Pearl2, and DED. (PIA)
