I reviewed this site and it appears to reflect that it is an accreditation and training organization. Were you recommending them? Are you affiliated with them in some way?
IAS is in fact the original of five internationally recognized accrediting bodies (ABs) based in the U.S., where recognition means that IAS is a signatory to the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC), to the Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation(APLAC, and is also in the National Cooperation for Laboratory Accreditation (NACLA). IAS is a non-profit organization.
IAS accredits laboratories (both test and calibration) under the ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and inspection bodies under the ISO/IEC 17020 Standards; and other organizations under a variety of other standards and requirements.
IAS also provides training in a variety of needs.
Rustedamy may or may not be affiliated with IAS as a member of an accredited organization; I do not know the identity behind the profile and will not ask, so I simply do not know.
As for the statement regarding the paper on Minimally Staffed Laboratories, Rustedamy is correct, and that paper was delivered a couple of years ago in an international conference held in the Middle East by IAS Staff. I am very happy that Rustedamy has found value in the paper and I will pass the information along to the author.
Hope this helps.
