QUALITY INFRASTRUCTURE
Quality infrastructure solutions for reliable results and international recognition
We support laboratories, certification bodies and public institutions in developing competence, meeting accreditation and regulatory requirements, and strengthening confidence in measurement, testing and certification results.
Recognition of competence, accreditation and reliable results
Quality infrastructure supports trade, protects consumers and provides the technical basis for reliable decisions. QORA works with laboratories, certification bodies and public institutions to develop systems aligned with international standards and adapted to their operational context.
Our support covers product certification and regulatory compliance, metrology and calibration, testing laboratories, proficiency testing providers and validation & verification bodies —from technical assessment and planning to implementation, accreditation readiness and capacity building.
PRODUCT CERTIFICATION AND REGULATORY COMPLIANCE
QORA supports manufacturers, importers, certification bodies and public institutions in understanding and applying product certification and regulatory requirements. We connect standards, technical regulations, conformity assessment procedures and market surveillance to help organizations develop reliable compliance processes and make technically sound decisions.
- Certification scheme development and review
- ISO/IEC 17065 implementation and accreditation readiness
- Technical regulation and market-access assessment
- Product safety and market surveillance procedures
Supporting product compliance and access to regulated markets
Developing reliable and sustainable measurement capabilities
METROLOGY AND CALIBRATION LABORATORIES
QORA supports calibration laboratories, national metrology institutions and other technical organizations in developing measurement capabilities that remain reliable over time. Our approach integrates service demand, infrastructure, equipment, competent personnel, calibration methods, metrological traceability, measurement uncertainty and the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025.
- Laboratory business plan, needs assessments and development roadmaps
- Calibration methods, traceability, CMC and measurement uncertainty
- Laboratory infrastructure and equipment specifications
- ISO/IEC 17025 implementation and accreditation readiness
TESTING LABORATORIES
QORA assists laboratories and institutions in establishing, expanding and improving testing capabilities for product safety, regulatory compliance, certification and industrial quality. The work considers the intended use of results and aligns test methods, qualified personnel, equipment, facilities and quality-assurance processes with the applicable technical and regulatory requirements.
- Testing laboratory planning and implementation
- Method selection, verification and validation
- Equipment, facilities and environmental requirements
- ISO/IEC 17025 implementation and accreditation readiness
Building testing capabilities that support reliable decisions
Designing proficiency testing schemes that produce meaningful evidence
PROFICIENCY TESTING PROVIDERS
QORA supports proficiency testing providers and institutions in developing programs aligned with ISO/IEC 17043:2023. Each scheme is designed according to its purpose, technical field and participant population, combining suitable test items, reliable assigned values, appropriate statistical methods and clear interpretation of laboratory performance.
- Proficiency testing scheme design and planning
- Test-item preparation, homogeneity and stability assessment
- Assigned values, uncertainties and statistical evaluation
- ISO/IEC 17043 implementation and accreditation readiness
VALIDATION AND VERIFICATION BODIES
QORA supports validation and verification bodies in developing impartial, competent and consistent activities aligned with ISO/IEC 17029. Our work covers the assessment of future-oriented claims through validation and the confirmation of historical data and reported results through verification, considering the applicable programme, sector-specific requirements and intended use of the statement.
- Validation and verification programme development
- Processes for engagement, planning, evidence assessment and reporting
- Competence, impartiality and risk-management requirements
- ISO/IEC 17029 implementation and accreditation readiness
