A new achievement for the Northern Technical University – expanding the scope of international accreditation for the construction laboratory.

Under the patronage of the President of the Northern Technical University, Professor Dr. Alia Abbas Al-Attar, and in an effort to promote quality and international accreditation, the Construction Laboratory at the Technical Engineering College – Kirkuk has renewed and expanded its ISO/IEC 17025:2017 international accreditation certificate issued by the Iraqi Accreditation Authority (IQAS) – Ministry of Planning.
The expansion included the addition of three new groups of laboratory tests:
• Metallic Tests
• Rubber Tests
• Electrical and Electronic Tests
In addition to the previously accredited construction tests, this expansion represents a continuation of the university’s vision to develop and enhance international accreditations in line with global quality requirements.
This achievement reflects the university’s support for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as strengthening cooperation mechanisms with various government agencies and the private sector.
The accreditation certificate was received by Assistant Professor Dr. Muntadhar Aidi Sharif, Head of the Department of Surveying Engineering at the Technical College of Engineering in Kirkuk.
