The GOA will aim at developing accredited water testing laboratories in th future in line with international quality control standards. A new national accreditation body will be established. In the interim, ANSA will be the focal point for Afghanistan in developing a quality control framework for water testing laboratories. ANSA is well suited to take the lead as it is already in negotiation to have some of its own laboratories accredited under the Turkish Accreditation Office.
