Quality standard
With the aim to acquire the most quality work, the Centre was the first among the laboratories to recognise the importance of application of ISO standards in its work. Seven years ago we started implementing these standards. Yugoslav accreditation body JUAT has established that the Centre fulfils the conditions for accreditation for laboratories for analysis in accordance with JUS ISO/IEC requirements 25 and JUS EN 45001, and the same was verified by a decision No. 01-14/2001 on September 11, 2001. Struggle for quality has no end, so the laboratory improved its activities further on and standardised the same in accordance with the requirements JUS ISO/IEC 17025 and was granted an accreditation from the Accrediting Body of Serbia and Montenegro No. 01-016/1 on October 16, 2003. The scope of accreditation of the Laboratory of the Centre is grate within the type of food for analysis and the parameters of research.

In order to prove the accuracy of the received laboratory results, which is one of the obligations in carrying out quality work, the Centre participated in international parallel analysis (Laboratory Proficiency Testing) abroad and in country. The Centre regularly participated in co-laboratory analysis for the Central Science Laboratory from Great Britain within program FAPAS, Swedish National Food Administration within program Food Chemistry and Norway Institute for Food and Environmental Analysis from Oslo within program Food Microbiology. Among the co-laboratory analysis in our country we should mention the ones organised by the Department of Sanitary chemistry at Pharmaceutics Association of Serbia. Within the mentioned analysis the received results showed the highest degree of accuracy and therefore the Centre is graded among the most accurate laboratories.

Taking in regard Strategy in the field of food safety, Centre in co-operation with the German company “Biolab” provides services of implementation of the System of risk analysis and control of critical points –HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) to the producers and distributors of the raw materials for food production, food as well as hospitality enterprises.
