The DOST-ITDI said the establishment of the MiC Laboratory was aimed at helping local testing laboratories comply with traceable chemical measurements by producing reference materials (RMs) and conducting accuracy-based Proficiency Testing (PT) schemes.
“What makes RMs valuable is how it supports the results of measurement laboratories to ensure that commodities can pass stringent international trade standards on food quality and control. MiC thus aims to reduce the detention and recall of Philippine products for export,” it said.
Through the new laboratory, highly characterized, authenticated...
