OPCW Designated Laboratory Programme – Support the OPCW Programme of Expanding the Number of Designated Laboratories Worldwide

This work seeks to address the lack of Designated Laboratories in Africa or South America regions. The OPCW programme provides essential training and assistance to target counties in order to develop the necessary expertise and capability for facilities to qualify as a Designated Laboratory. UK financial support through OPCW has enabled proficiency testing reports to be produced for laboratories in Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Kenya and Nigeria.

These reports identified areas of capability and equipment/assets that are needed for laboratories to work towards Designated Laboratory status. Assisted by this project, in 2021 a laboratory in Brazil achieved Designated Status for the analysis of authentic environmental samples.
