Maria Scognamiglio, Accredia technical officer, participates as a speaker at the EPPO Workshop on the accreditation activity, according to the new 17025, for the diagnostic activity of plant pests.

The Workshop will start with presentations of the main changes to PM 7/98(4) Specific requirements for laboratories preparing accreditation for a plant pest diagnostic activity by the EPPO secretariat followed by reports from Heads of Laboratories of their experience with the implementation of the new version of ISO 17025). For that session, we invite experts to propose a presentation (to be indicated when registering online). On the second day, representatives from EU reference laboratories will present their planned activities.
