Accreditation of Laboratory in Cambodia through CAPFish-CAPTURE Project Support

Accreditation of Laboratory in Cambodia through CAPFish-CAPTURE Project Support

With support of the European Union, CAPFish-Capture: Post-harvest Fisheries Development Project, implemented by UNIDO and Fisheries Administration, is delightful to celebrate a great success

in attaining accreditation of Laboratory of Environment and Food Safety of Institut Pasteur du Cambodge (IPC).

This achievement was the result of continued technical support to IPC after the official partnership agreement was signed between both parties.

The accreditation was officially awarded by the International Accreditation Service on 6 September 2022.

The accreditation to this lab will help Cambodia in achieving national and international recognition of test results and so the quality and safety of fishery products.

This also allows Cambodia to improve its exports of processed agricultural products, including fishery products to other potential importing countries, particularly ASEAN, China, and the EU.

Currently, such accredited testing facilities in the country are quite limited and the Kingdom depends heavily on the accredited laboratories in the neighboring countries for food testing, which is both time-consuming and costly.
