Abstract

Conclusions

Furthermore, the implementation and generalization of the quality approach, the harmonization of procedures and methods across the network of ONEE laboratories - Water Branch, the establishment of a unit for the production of reference materials and the organization of aptitude tests at the central laboratory has significantly contributed to the improvement of the global performance in the field of the Microbiological control quality at the decentralized laboratories of ONEE.

National Recognitions:

The central laboratory :

• Accreditation - ISO 17025 since 2002 .

• Certification-ISO 9001 since 2016 .

• WHO collaborating center for applied research in the field of water quality control.

Decentralized laboratories:

• 5 laboratories are accredited : Fes ,Oujda, khouribga, kenitra et Laayoune and the others are in progress


Recommendations

  • Reinforcing the exchange of experience among laboratories operating in the field of Microbiology
  • Establishing a global network of microbiologists working in the water sector to share experiences and overcome challenges related to emerging risks
