History
In 2012, the President instructed the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) to initiate the harmonization of testing laboratories in the country. The challenge at that time was to establish a framework that will address issues on harmonization, collaboration, and interfacing among laboratories while respecting their mandates and regulatory functions. This brought about the establishment of a laboratory network known as the “One-stop Laboratory Services for Global Competitiveness (OneLab).
Mission
To provide global access to comprehensive analytical and calibration services at a single touch point.
Vision
To be globally-recognized network of analytical and calibration laboratories distinguished for quality, proficient services and ultimate customer convenience.
What is OneLab
