The 0$T1 2oru* Nepal, as a start o its progra* acti3ities, had in the past, organised a

workshop on &1uality 4e+uire*ents in 5oney Value Chain6 in ath*andu in 2e%ruary

"88#, and ollow)up acti3ities were pursued. The 2oru* this year realised the need or encouraging ood and other testing la%oratories or enhancing their capacities to pro3ide

internationally recognised conor*ity testing ser3ices. n this contet, it decided to conduct a

+uick sur3ey o the pro*inent la%oratories o Nepal as a stock taking eercise to access the

situation and eisting ser3ice acilities in ter*s o physical inrastructures, la%oratory

e+uip*ents/instru*ents and hu*an resources a3aila%le or pro3iding test ser3ices.

n order to know the eisting status o che*ical and *icro%iological la%oratories in Nepal, eighteen

dierent pu%lic and pri3ate la%oratories were sur3eyed. A*ong the sur3eyed la%oratories, nine were

pu%lic, se3en were pri3ate, and one was N=@ and one esta%lished on a pu%lic) pri3ate Hpartnership

%asis. Their status o technical *anpower, la%oratory test acilities, e+uip*ent status, a3aila%ility o reerence and certiied reerence *aterials, practice o *ethod 3alidation, proiciency testing,

en3iron*ent and acco**odation were assessed. The result showed that all the pu%lic and pri3atela%oratories ha3e yet to i*ple*ent/adopt international standard 0@ 78"'=eneral re+uire*ents or

1. Introduction

?ata generation %y the la%oratory are 3ery crucial and indispensa%le tool so as to support the act o

in3estigation and to take decision or necessary action in 3arious ields such as ood saety and

+uality assurance progra**e, *onitoring en3iron*ental issues, drug, assuring the status o *ineral

co*position, as well as %ioacti3e co*ponents. The success o any kind o in3estigation and decision

is directly associated with the success o the la%oratory in producing data 3ery near to the true 3alue.

At present, the i*portance o la%oratory is e3er increasing due to the present situation o en3iron*ental threat, technological de3elop*ent, consu*er censuses on health and saety, cri*e

in3estigation, international trade and regulatory re+uire*ents.

n case o Nepal, the operation o la%oratory ser3ices had %egun around ! decades %ack in the pu%lic

sector. =radually within past two decades, pri3ate sector also started getting in3ol3ed in esta%lishing

test la%oratories and pro3iding related ser3ices.

4. Conclusions

La%oratories need to produce +uality data in a cost eecti3e *anner. The serious deiciencies occur

when attention to +uality is neglected or ignored. =rowing poor la%oratory practices ha3e led to the prolieration o La%oratory Accreditation, =ood La%oratory ;ractice and 1uality $anage*ent

purpose or which the organiFation eists. 2or successul i*ple*entation o 1A; co**it*ent,

support, understanding and cooperation o top *anage*ent and sta are crucial.

0ince there eist *any dierent sche*es like =L;, 0@ 7"8', 0@ 9888 etc., the top *anage*ent o

la%oratories see*s to %e in conusion as to which sche*e to %e adopted. t is elt that there is a

growing pressure to har*oniFe the* or at least esta%lish eecti3e $utual 4ecognition Agree*ents

and 0@ 9888, Eustiied %y the auditors in the interests o custo*er conidence. Auditors are so*eti*e

seen as inconsistent or o3er concerned with secondary issues. @n occasions, there are lacking in the

technical depth. $ost o the la%oratories are poorly inor*ed a%out these standards and process o

third party registration. 0o*e la%oratories are ound discouraged to any new sche*e on the ground o

high in3est*ents and running costs re+uired to %e %orne, conse+uently.

=o3ern*ent should encourage la%oratory accreditation at policy or organiFation or la%

control, esta%lish*ent, *onitoring and *anage*ent and disse*ination o authority.=o3ern*ent ape %ody or la%oratory accreditation should %e strengthened

) in3itation o key stakeholders to a round ta%le discussion on national la% capacity %uilding /

national +uality policy) initiation o cooperation with international technical cooperation agencies like ;T


22/38

pro*otion o =L;, la%oratory accreditation, ;T participation and other rele3ant trainings

re+uired in the changed contet o T@.

0hort ter* reresher trainings are essential to upgrade skills o la%oratory personnel. The

la%oratory personnel and the top *anage*ents o all the la%oratories should %e gi3en

orientation on the =L; and pro3isions o 0@ 78"' and also on how to participate in the;Ts. 0$T1 2oru* Nepal should take a lead to organiFe orientation/training progra*s.

Arrange*ents or periodic *aintenance and repair ser3ices or the keyinstru*ents/e+uip*ents are also considered highly essential in collecti3e %asis , as getting

such ser3ices indi3idually is 3ery diicult, ti*e consu*ing and highly costly. ;rospect o coordination o such arrange*ents %y 0$T1 oru* or any other agency will ha3e to %e

eplored.

't laboratory level,

There are *any so*e reco**endations that the la%oratories the*sel3es could i*ple*ent,

these include:

) *pro3ing good housekeeping, hygienic /en3iron*ental practices,) orking on +uality *anage*ent docu*entation like control chart, +uality *anual, standard

operating procedures, record keeping etc.
