PEMETAAN LABORATORIUM PENGUJI DI INDONESIA YANG TERAKREDITASI ISO 17025 OLEH LEMBAGA AKREDITASI NASIONAL (KAN)

Abstract

ISO 17025 accredited Testing Laboratory is a Laboratory that meets the standards for laboratory management and technical management. The accreditation of testing laboratories in Indonesia is carried out by the National Accreditation Institute (KAN) with reference to ISO 17025: 2015. The mapping of Examination Laboratories in Indonesia aims to look at the opportunities of higher university testing laboratories to improve their quality so that they are equal and able to compete with government testing laboratories and private laboratory. This can be obtained by accrediting research laboratories on campus so that the results of research conducted by lecturers and students can be improved and research costs become cheaper because there is no need to send any more to accredited laboratories outside campus. From KAN data, there are 1096 testing laboratories in Indonesia that are ISO 17025 accredited consisting of 721 government laboratories (66%), 348 private laboratories (32%) and 27 university laboratories (2%). Location of the testing laboratory deployments were 583 (53%) in Java, 230 (21%) in Kalimantan, 124 (11%), Sulawesi, Bali, NTT, NTB, Maluku and Papua 133 (12%). The testing laboratories in Riau were 26 laboratories (2%) consisting of 12 government laboratories and 14 private laboratories and no accredited university testing laboratories. The provision of ISO 17025 accredited university testing laboratories is highly needed generally in Sumatra and Riau especially so that the results of tests carried out within the framework of research by lecturers and students can be improved and research culture on campus can be further improved to produce quality research results so able to work with government and private parties and be beneficial to science and society.
