I was honor that Dr. Daria Wong (Accreditation
Officer, HKAS) accompany with Ms. Merih Malmqvist NILSSON (Chair of ILAC; Deputy
Director General of Swedac, Sweden) to visit Laboratories of the Hong Kong
Science and Technology Parks Corporation (HKSTP) on 16 Feb 2017. Mr. Nilsson
visit is sponsored by the HKSAR through the Sponsored Visitor Programme (SVP)
which intended to present to renowned visitors around the world a full and
balanced picture of Hong Kong and hopefully promote Hong Kong economic and
financial strengths. In the beginning, We
took the photo in front of my office.

Manager, TSC), Ms. Merih Malmqvist NILSSON, Mr. Kevin Edmunds (Sr. Manager,
Sustainability) and Dr. Daria Wong)
Then Mr. Kevin Edmunds gave an
introduction of Hong Kong Science and Technology Parks and our sustainability
team. Mr. YC Lee briefed about
Technology Support Centre before our visit.
I would like to introduce ILAC below.
International Laboratory
Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) is a global level NGO formed by accreditation
bodies for laboratories from different economies. It is an influential body
governing the global practice of laboratory accreditation. ILAC first started as a conference in 1977
with the aim of facilitating trade by promoting cross-border acceptance of test
and calibration results issued by accredited laboratories. ILAC administers a global mutual recognition
arrangement (MRA) between laboratory accreditation bodies with the cooperation
of regional cooperation of accreditation bodies, e.g., the Asia-Pacific
Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region. The ILAC MRA is accepted by many government
and non-government organizations as an indicator of reliable accreditation and
credible test and calibration results. Hong Kong Accreditation Service of the
Innovation and Technology Commission of HKSARG is its full member as well as a
signatory to its MRAs for both testing and calibration.
After that we went to visit three
of four laboratories. Firstly, we want
to the Reliability Laboratory (RL) and Mr. TM Lau who is laboratory manager
introduced the equipment and testing to us.
Near RL, it is the rapid
prototype laboratory. Mr. Peter Lee
(Engineer) showed the 3D printing technology to our guests. Then we also visit IC Failure Analysis
Laboratory (ICFAL) for material testing.
In Biotech Support Centre, my
colleague Mr. Anthony Chan (Project Officer) explained the biotech instrument
and its application such as DNA sequencing.
Finally, we went to the Probe and
Test Development Centre (PTDC) and took a photo in front of the cleanroom in which
many equipment performed IC testing.
After the laboratory visit, we
went to the Charles K. Kao Auditorium (also called Golden Egg) and took a photo
for memory.
