Mr Lee said the successful and timely implementation of sound quality systems was an important factor contributing to the continuous and considerable efforts to enhance the quality of the Laboratory's discrete activities.
He said the two awards represented a timely recognition to the challenging tasks which demanded sustained input from staff of the Government Laboratory over a period of nearly two years.
In paying tribute to the contribution by his staff, Mr Lee said: "The Government Laboratory is now in the fortunate position of having third-party recognition for quality systems applicable to leading analytical laboratories which function like ours worldwide."
Immediately after the presentation ceremony, Mr Lee and two Assistant Government Chemists, Dr B N Dailly and Mr Chan Chi-kin, conducted a meet-the- media session to give an up-to-date account of the work of the Government Laboratory in the past years.
