TRAINING AND TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE IN MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS 

Management Systems are set up to allow an organization to meet its objectives by managing its processes or activities in the most efficient and effective manner. The work of the Bureau has concentrated on the generic quality management system of standards developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and referred to as ISO 9000. In the ISO 9000 context quality refers to all those features of a product or service which are required by the customer. 

The Certification Department conducts workshops, seminars and/or company visits (made on request) to give guidance on the interpretation, application and implementation of the requirements of the ISO 9000 series of standards. Similar training programmes are offered with regard to the ISO 17025 for testing and calibration laboratories and ISO 15189 for medical laboratories. 

Training is also provided in food hygiene/food handling techniques. The Saint Lucia Bureau of Standards conducts workshops designed to provide basic knowledge of food hygiene, good manufacturing systems and strategies for maintaining safe food production. The training programme incorporates material on the Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) Food Safety Management System.
