To jointly safeguard food hygiene and safety, and make good use of testing resources in universities and colleges, the TFDA encouraged universities and colleges to participate in food testing accreditation programs in 2014 and 2015. 48 universities and colleges participated in the programs. 16 training courses on quality system and testing techniques were held, 125 onsite counseling sessions were completed, and proficiency samples were analyzed by 42 laboratories, out of which 18 laboratories performed satisfactorily with a satisfaction rate of 41.9%. Through participation in training courses, onsite counseling and proficiency testing, the laboratories gradually enhanced their laboratory management systems and testing capabilities. As at June 2016, 12 university and college laboratories applied for TFDA accreditation and 10 of them have been accredited, which is double the number compared with that at the beginning of the program. Such laboratories currently make up 33.3% of existing private accredited laboratories. Furthermore, among the 10 accredited laboratories, 3, 4 and 3 laboratories are located in northern, central and southern Taiwan, respectively. This helps improve the testing capabilities in each region. |
