Quality Testing Laboratories of Food Commodities

GOEIC has a unique system of laboratories throughout the Arab Republic of Egypt to maintain control over quality and safety of food commodities, and food laboratories in GOEIC are among the first Egyptian laboratories that sought international accreditation and they were internationally accredited in 2004 by internationally recognized organizations, (such as A2LA, NLAB, DAP, EGAC, etc.) in accordance with ISO / IEC 17025. GOEIC laboratories always maintain the international accreditation with constant improvement, by developing PT programs, and increasing its areas of accreditation till the present. Laboratories are also subject to annual inspection and auditing by the Egyptian Accreditation Council (EGAC), to ensure that the requirements of Standard 17025/2017 are met and to check the efficiency of the quality system for all methods of analysis adopted by laboratories. GOEIC has 60 internationally-accredited tests developed by EGAC, and laboratories accreditation certificates are valid until 2020 in various GOEIC branches.
