Staff highlights

AHL recently underwent another successful ISO/IEC 17025:2017 audit by Standards Council of Canada.  This 4-day audit involved evaluation of multiple laboratory sections by a team of 9 highly-skilled external auditors.  The auditors were very complimentary of AHL processes and procedures, a testament to the hard work that the QA (quality assurance) team members accomplished not only in preparation for the audit, but also throughout the year as their activities support the quality objectives of the AHL. 

ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accrediation is an internationally-recognized quality standard that is required for veterinary diagnostic laboratories involved in regulatory and export testing.  It also provides assurance for all clients of the accredited laboratory that their samples are tested under the most rigorous scientific requirements.  A comprehensive listing of AHL’s accreditations can be located on our website at: https://www.uoguelph.ca/ahl/about-us/accreditation

Congratulations QA team on another successful ISO/IEC 17025:2017 audit!
