PETALING JAYA (March 8): Lafarge Malaysia Bhd’s Construction Development Lab (CDL) has received the ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, an international standard that ensures the quality and accuracy of laboratory equipment calibration and sampling analysis.

The accreditation is a great differentiator and provides customers with the assurance that Lafarge Malaysia’s CDL is able to produce precise and accurate results for cement, concrete and soil testing, the company’s managing director Thierry Legrand said in a press release today.

 “We are delighted to receive the accreditation as the ISO/IEC 17025 is the highest standard of quality in the world. Only a few handful of laboratories in the country have been awarded the accreditation to date.”

 He added, “Customers can now avail themselves to these new services, and utilise our state-of-the-art facilities at the CDL to test their building materials.”

Lafarge Malaysia’s CDL is a complete building materials lab with cement, concrete, aggregates and soil labs, and an open space lab for testing and doing prototypes. Opened in 2014, the CDL allows the company to work closely with its customers to test, adapt and tailor innovative solutions for their construction needs, with the support of the LafargeHolcim Centre of Research.
