5th EUROLAB Symposium
Confidence in Testing Services - New Expectations, New
Rules, New Challenges
04 - 05 October 2000, Edinburgh, Scotland
Dramatic changes have occurred in recent years within the
laboratory world. Customer demands have become ever more
rigorous, legislation is more prevalent, a new approach
to conformity assessment has been evaluated and new
technology has invaded every facet of laboratory
operation. The 5th EUROLAB International Symposium will
discuss and present solutions and models for meeting
these challenges. Symposium topics are
* The new ISO/IEC 17025 - implementation and new
technical requirements
* Making best use of information technology
* Customer satisfaction - comprehensive services
* The extent and efficiency of accreditation -
transparency of QA
* Meeting the new challenges facing laboratory management
