The Primoris seminar is back! This will be the very first seminar after our name change to Primoris. Future challenges in food safety are the main theme and both recent and future changes in legislation are the common thread through all lectures. You can register until June 17th. 

In May of this year, BELAC accepted our accreditation expansions and prolonged the accreditation for a period of 5 years. Routine laboratories must meet the minimum quality requirements that are described in the EN-ISO17025 standard ‘General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories’. In Belgium, this accreditation is granted by BELAC.

On June 15th we update our certificates and that also means that we activate some method updates. You can read our certificates on the client portal of our website. More info about some of the changes: 

• Method update: 1,4-dimethylnaphtalene in GMS(L)
• Optimization of LMS5 method for pre-harvest controls
• Analysis under accreditation for different matrices
• Name change for analysis of benzo(a)pyrene in tobacco

As part of ensuring a constant quality control and -improvement, Primoris takes part in many national and international ring tests. Some of these ring tests are undercover tests in order to meet the highest possible quality standards.

We inform you about legislation, not only on our new website, but also in our newsletter, as we want to provide recent information about changes in, amongst others, the European legislation. In this newsletter, we give an overview of MRL and ML updates, approval renewals and corrigenda.

In July and August, Primoris Belgium will be closed on July 21th and August 15th.
