Quality Infrastructure Council of the Americas (QICA) Training Workshops

Quality Infrastructure Council of the Americas (QICA)

The Quality Infrastructure Council of the Americas (QICA), comprises the three independent regional organizations involved in quality infrastructure in America: the Pan American Standards Commission (COPANT), the Inter-American Metrology System (SIM) and the Inter-American Accreditation Cooperation (IAAC), each of which has an active and broad participation in American countries in their respective areas of expertise.

QICA is a platform to develop joint projects, information sharing, and cross-functional training and development that, by acting collaboratively, exceeds the abilities of any one-organization acting alone.

The most recent training activities were organized by QICA, with the support of PTB, Germany, and the Organization of American States (OAS).
