HCM CITY (Biz Hub)— A calibration seminar on "Successful Measurement Management" was held by the Japan Quality Assurance Organisation (JQA) in HCM City on Thursday.

The two-day seminar also included a training session on measuring instruments.

The seminar was aimed at people who are engaged in measurement control management in the quality control sector, while the practical training targetted technicians who need to learn about measurement control.

Together with the growing trade between Japan and Viet Nam, the demand for conformity assessment, including testing, inspection, certification and calibration, by a third party is becoming more important.

This is especially important in winning business partners' confidence and promoting trade facilitation, according to the local Quality Assurance and Testing Centre 3 (QUATEST 3).

QUATEST 3 is a third-party conformity assessment agency.

JQA, established in 1957, has been providing certification service and developing certification systems in co-operation with Japanese electrical home appliances and consumer electronics manufacturing companies, transport equipment companies, and others.

JQA also provides services such as calibration and verification of measuring instruments, testing and inspection of construction materials and machinery, and Japanese Industrial Standards certification.

Similar seminars and practical training was held in Ha Noi on Tuesday and Wednesday. — VNS
