Equipment Handed Over to Laboratories to Strengthen Testing Capacity in Ghana

National laboratories’ testing capacity is an essential component of the National Quality Infrastructure System, as most traded products require proof that they comply with specications and safety regulations before they can access national and international markets. Buyers and customers require objective evidence that specications are met to be reassured and proceed with the purchase.

These requirements do not only relate to products but are also applied in the case of services and organizational management systems.

In this framework, WACOMP – Ghana provided and installed laboratory equipment and intrants at the Kwame Nkrumah
University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Food and Technology Laboratory in Kumasi, the University of Development
Studies (UDS) Food Technology Laboratory in Tamale, the Ghana Standards Authority (GSA) Cosmetics Laboratory and the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) Cosmetics Laboratory in Accra.

The provision of equipment, intrants, reagents and glasswares will contribute to the continuous improvement in the delivery of high-quality testing services to members of the food and cosmetic cluster.
