Standards Malaysia Visits IAS |
In May, Mohd Hamzaini Hashim, Assistant Director of the Accreditation Division of the Malaysia Department of Standards, visited the IAS headquarters in Whittier, Calif., to learn more about IAS' accreditation processes and programs for organizations that conduct inspections. During two-week his visit, Hamzaini visited IAS-accredited facilities to understand how their inspection processes are assessed by IAS for compliance with established accreditation criteria. He was particularly interested in learning about the U.S. process for inspecting steel products, materials and steel construction. He was briefed by IAS Program Manager Sandi McCracken on the technical requirements for assessing steel fabrication inspection processes and the applicable accreditation criteria and industry requirements related to steel inspection. |
