The Quality Control Laboratory (QCL) of ARL is the first laboratory
in the oil-refining sector of the country to achieve the coveted ISO
9002 accreditation. This land mark achievement was accomplished in
May 1999 through completely indigenous efforts of our highly professional
QCL team. However, ISO 9002 certification is but only a small step
towards our commitment to provide analytical services of highest order
to our customers. Quality Control Laboratory
of ARL has been awarded ISO/IEC 17025:2005 Accreditation by the
Pakistan National Accreditation Council (PNAC), Ministry of Science
and Technology, Government of Pakistan on October 4, 2007, thereby
becoming the first and the only laboratory in the oil & gas
sector of Pakistan to achieve this distinction.
ISO/IEC 17025:2005 Laboratory Accreditation is
the criteria for laboratories to demonstrate the technical competence
to carry out specific test methods, generate valid internationally
traceable calibration data, test results, and operate an effective
quality system. This accreditation, thus, gives ARL’s Laboratory
an international standing equivalent to any of the international
laboratories of repute.
