ISO 9001 certification for TGTL

by Vernon Perera

The Textile and Garment Testing Laboratory (TGTL) received a major boost when it became the first Textile Testing Laboratory in Sri Lanka to achieve ISO 9001: 2000 certification recently.

According to Textile Training and Services Centre (TTSC) officials laboratory which has been in the forefront of Textile and Garment Testing since it began commercial testing activities in 1986. Since then, it has been upgrading its equipment and quality management systems to cater to the growing demands of the industry.

TTSC officials said the assistance provided by the UNIDO/UNDP during the early stages and from JICA in recent years, to obtain state of the art equipment and training by foreign experts in Sri Lanka and abroad had to a great extent helped the TGTL achieve ISO status.

"The laboratory can now claim to be on par with any other Textile Testing Laboratory in the world, said the official, explaining that it is equipped to perform tests in accordance to ISO, ASTM, AATCC, BS, JIS and SLSI standards". With the achievement of ISO 9001: 2000 status the clients are assured of accurate and reliable service consistently", they said.

The TT&SC testing laboratory became first testing laboratory to achieve this status. The garment industrialists who were dependent on foreign laboratories for their testing requirements, are now assured of an equally good service here at home in Sri Lanka at a lower cost and in a "Competitive Edge" to overcome the challenges posted by foreign competitors, sources said.
