ISO 17025 Course, ISO/IEC 17025 Consulting & ISTA Transport Testing Laboratory - Requirements for PTN and ISTA Transport Testing Laboratory capacity at AUO Vietnam Company - Member company of AUO Group - the world's leading display manufacturer. ISO 17025 Course, ISO/ IEC 17025 Consulting & ISTA® Transport Testing Laboratory - Competency Requirements & ISTA Transport Laboratory at AUO Vietnam Company. VINTECOM International has just completed the ISO/IEC 17025 & ISTA® Transport Testing Laboratory training course for ISTA laboratory and transport for UAO Vietnam Co., Ltd. - one of the world's leading display manufacturing companies for major trading partners such as Samsung, LG and Dell. The training course focuses on technical management requirements for environmental display product quality testing (Environmental Testing) such as thermal shock and dust, Physical Testing (Mechanical Test) such as impact, free fall for the display or also known as mechanical testing (Mechanical / Physical Testing) and PC display light testing or also known as optical testing (Optical Testing). In addition, in conjunction with ISTA®, the laboratory conducts pre-shipment testing according to ISTA standards for packaged products by developing packaging testing methods that simulate hazards during actual distribution, helping businesses ensure that products are effectively protected during transportation. Through the program, students are equipped with comprehensive and up-to-date knowledge of the requirements of the ISO/IEC 17025 standard, including regulations and technical management requirements of the Testing Laboratory (PTN), associated with concepts such as bias, accuracy, precision, repeatability, reproducibility, standard deviation, measurement uncertainty, as well as requirements for intra-laboratory and inter-laboratory comparisons, proficiency testing, and test method selection. The quality assurance system and the necessary factors to improve the testing capacity in the laboratory. This is an important step to help UAO Vietnam ensure compliance with international standards, while enhancing reliability and safety in quality control activities – especially in the context of the display manufacturing industry requiring strict technical standards.
