Under the slogan “Safe Food … Better Health”
In view of the state’s concern in the safety of the Egyptian citizen’s food, the Central Laboratory for Analysis of Pesticide Residues and Heavy Metals affiliated to the Agricultural Research Center has been established in 1995. It was awarded a grant from Finland and obtained the accreditation of ISO/IEC 17025 :2017 from the Finnish Accreditation Service (FINAS) since its establishment. Since then, the accreditation has been annually renewed until now.
