New Accredited Testing Laboratory

Inspectorate Malta Limited, a laboratory forming part of Inspectorate International Ltd, has been recently awarded accreditation to the International Standard for Laboratories ISO17025 by the National Accreditation Board (NAB-MALTA).  The laboratory has been accredited for the testing on sampling and testing of oil to recognized standards including tests for density, total sulphur, flash point, kinematic viscosity and determination of metals. 

Inspectorate Malta Limited started its operations in Malta in May 2010. It currently located in Marsa. It serves both local and international clients and its services cover both quantity and quality. During its startup Inspectorate Immediately set accreditation as one of its objectives and this helped it to achieve this target in a relatively short time.

Accreditation is achieved following a thorough assessment by a specialized technical assessment team specifically selected by the NAB-MALTA for its clients. The objective of this assessment is to establish the technical competence of the laboratory to ensure that it has the right personnel, management system, facilities, equipment and knowledge to issue reliable test reports and certificates. The requirements are established by ISO17025 which defines the general requirements for the competence of testing an calibration laboratories.

It should also be noted that by virtue of NAB-MALTA’s signing of the Multi Lateral Agreement with the European Co-operation for Accreditation, the test certificates issued by Inspectorate Malta Limited now have international recognition.
