Pic.(R-L)P.Smith, C.Ritchie,J.Fowler,A.del Mundo... On March 23, 2010 the McPhar Laboratory in the Philippines was awarded ISO 17025:2005 accreditation at a function held in at a Makati City. It was attended by John Fowler, Intertek's Vice President Minerals, Asia Pacific-Africa, the McPhar staff, and about 40 guests from the Philippine mining industry.

All the McPhar Lab Section Heads deserve credit for their hard work in obtaining this accreditation, but special mention should go to Mayette Salamanca the QA/QC Section Head for her leadership roll as well as to Craig Ritchie for his valuable input.
