LAHORE: The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has certified Punjab University’s College of Pharmacy for authentic analysis of drugs.

The ISO, after strictly examining administrative affairs, research activities, equipment of laboratories and expertise, has awarded ISO 9001-2008 certification to the college, which has become the first college of any public sector university in Pakistan that achieved this milestone.

After this certification, the reports of analysis of drugs sent for inspection to the college’s labs will be considered certified and prepared as per international standards. Earlier, there were only one lab each in Lahore and Islamabad, whose reports were considered reliable and certified.
