INDUSTRIAL LIAISON OFFICE (ILO)

Industrial Liaison Office (ILO) was established on July 28, 2003 at Pakistan Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (PCSIR) Laboratories Complex Lahore. The office became functional to fulfill the ISO Certification procedure and to streamline an effective, purposeful co-ordination between Industrial Sector, Private Entrepreneurs (particularly SMEs), Government and Semi Government Organizations within the Country. PCSIR Laboratories Complex Lahore achieved ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation in 2005 with Pakistan National Accreditation Council (PNAC) after fulfilling general requirements for the competence of “Testing” and “Calibration”. PCSIR Laboratories Lahore achieved ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation proving that the Quality System of the Laboratories produce technically sound, consistent and valid results. Additionally PCSIR Laboratories obtained ISO 9001:2008 certification and later switch to ISO 9001:2015 by TUV Nord, Germany.
