Sigma Labs certified by GNBS

Jun 11, 2008 News

The Guyana National Bureau of Standards (GNBS) has announced that Sigma Labs has been certified according to regulations.
The certification of Sigma Labs brings the total number of labs certified by GNBS to four, with the others being Dr Balwant Singh’s Hospital Laboratory, the Georgetown Public Hospital Corporation Medical Laboratory and the Eureka Medical Laboratory.
GNBS, in a statement yesterday, said that it is currently working with other laboratories to have them certified under the programme. “Sigma Labs has competently proved that they are capable of developing and maintaining a comprehensive laboratory management system, as outlined in the Laboratory Standard, which will facilitate the delivery of accurate, reliable and consistent test results.”
According to GNBS, the certification will allow Sigma to conduct tests in the areas of Biochemistry, Haematology, Histology, Parasitology, Serology, and Microbiology.
“To maintain recognition, all certified laboratories are re-evaluated periodically by the GNBS to ensure that there is continual compliance with the requirements and to check that their standard of operation is being maintained.
“Laboratories may also be required to participate in relevant proficiency testing programmes between re-assessments, as a further demonstration of technical performance.”
