Reception
The Sample Reception function in the Research Unit is responsible for receiving, registering, and tracking samples submitted for research and industrial testing. This unit ensures proper documentation, traceability, and coordination between clients and laboratory sections throughout the testing process. To facilitate efficient access and timely service, the organization operates multiple regional representative offices, which act as sample submission points and client liaison centers. These offices collect and verify samples, provide technical guidance, and coordinate logistics with the central research laboratory, ensuring consistent quality, secure handling, and streamlined communication across all locations.
Designated storage areas are established for accepted samples to ensure proper organization and controlled conditions appropriate to each sample type. Measures are implemented to prevent damage, deterioration, contamination, or mix-up during storage.
Upon receipt, each sample is assigned a unique identification code, enabling full traceability throughout its lifecycle. All relevant information, including storage location, handling, and status, is systematically recorded to ensure that every accepted sample can be accurately tracked from receipt to final disposition in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025 requirements.
