OUR CORE SERVICES
Laboratory Quality & Capability Advisory
Review selected laboratory processes, strengthen technical documentation and provide practical guidance on laboratory quality and capability.
SERVICE OVERVIEW
Strengthen Laboratory Processes and Technical Capability
Laboratory quality and technical capability depend on well-defined processes, appropriate documentation, effective quality practices and resources suited to the activities being undertaken.
AfroVeritas provides defined technical advisory support to laboratories and organisations seeking an independent review of selected aspects of their processes, documentation and analytical capability.
Depending on the agreed scope, our support may include reviewing selected procedures and records, examining sample-management practices, considering quality-control documentation and identifying opportunities for improvement.
Recommendations are based on the agreed review requirements, the information made available and the areas within our demonstrated technical competence.

SCOPE & PROFESSIONAL LIMITATIONS
Technical Advisory, Not Accreditation or Certification
AfroVeritas provides technical advisory support within defined assignments and demonstrated areas of competence. The applicable review criteria and limitations are agreed before work begins.
This service does not constitute accreditation, certification or a formal accreditation assessment. AfroVeritas does not act as an accreditation or certification body and does not guarantee successful laboratory accreditation.
A review of selected documents or processes does not, by itself, certify a laboratory's technical competence or establish that it meets every applicable accreditation requirement.
Any formal assessment or specialist activity outside the agreed scope or demonstrated competence would require separate consideration, appropriate authorisation and a clearly defined engagement.
