WHAT IS A TECHNICAL CONTROL? A TECHNICAL APPROVAL?
Technical controls are agreements signed between BIPEA and an organization (e.g., a ministry, official or professional body, or other entities), which will deliver a technical approval.
A technical approval is a recognition granted to a laboratory by this organization for its activities.
BIPEA does not certify nor recommend a laboratory; we only act as a technical support.
The certifying body retains the responsibility of delivering the approval.
After studying the results by a group of experts, we transmit a technical opinion on each laboratory candidate based on:
• Its regular participation in PT programs,
• The evaluation of the performance,
• Laboratory’s visit.
BIPEA can provide technical assistance to laboratories through training sessions, meetings, and questionnaires.
