We inform you that from June 1st 2007, the ENAC
logo will not appear on the reports of our Armillariaassays.
The decision of this voluntary withdrawal, is mainly due to the
efforts devoted to the maintenance of these two quality systems with both human
and economic resources:
» A quality system according to the standard
UNE- EN ISO/IEC 17025: 2005, accredited by ENAC, for the identification of
Armillaria following the method PCR-RFLP (from July
2003)
» A quality system according to the standard UNE-
EN ISO 9001:2000, certified by AENOR, for the detection and identification of
plant pathogenic fungi using molecular techniques: PCR, PCR-RFLP and Nested-PCR
(from September 2005).
We have taken the decision to focus
our work on the maintenance of a single system, and after pondering the
advantages and disadvantages of both, the system we will keep and maintain as a
basis of our continuous improvement, is the certification UNE-EN ISO 9001:
2000, being aware that the commitment with the quality of the services rendered
will not be affected.
If you desire more information on this aspect,
please do not hesitate to contact us.
Sincerely,
