Overview
Industry regulated by Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC)
The technical testing industry ensures the safety, integrity and quality of goods and services across various end-industries through conformity assessment and assurance. These assurances cover conformity assessment for operational efficacy through verification and validation processes to provide quality assurance of products and services, facilitating their market access. The technical testing industry is identified as a key component in the national standards and conformance infrastructure, which supports enterprise value chains for numerous industries.
The sectors that use the technical testing services are Chemicals, Construction & Engineering, Energy & Commodities, Food & Healthcare, Hospitality & Tourism, Products & Retail and Transportation, which include a vast number of sub-industries within them.
The industry is regulated by the Singapore Accreditation Council (SAC), which was formed in 1996, as the national authority for the independent accreditation of conformity assessment bodies (CABs). The Council operates under Enterprise Singapore (ESG), the statutory board of the Ministry of Trade and Industry. SAC provides accreditation for organizations performing conformity assessment services such as testing, calibration, inspection and certification, ensuring the competency, impartiality and performance capability of their services.
SAC’s accreditations are issued through a range of programmes based on independent assessment and formal recognition of the competence of organizations. In addition, the accreditation schemes provide independent third-party attestation of the following entities:
- Auditing Organisations
- Management System Certification Bodies
- Product Certification Bodies
- Personnel Certification Bodies
- Laboratories
- Inspection Bodies
- Proficiency Testing Providers
- Validation & Verification Bodies
The accreditation criteria for technical testing organizations include international standards such as ISO/IEC 17025, ISO 15189, ISO/IEC 17020, ISO/IEC 17021-1, ISO/IEC 17024, ISO/IEC 17065 and ISO/IEC 17043.
SAC facilitates international recognition for Singapore’s goods and services through the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation Mutual Recognition Arrangement (ILAC MRA), supporting international trade. Through this agreement, ILAC provides technical support such as acceptance of accredited laboratory data and inspection results related to cross-border trade. The ILAC MRA has an internationally-recognised mark, which is granted for CABs that become accredited under the program for the exclusive use on their certificates and reports.
Key Trends
Despite movement restrictions due to the pandemic, SAC supports technical testing industry with guidance and best practices for remote assessments
The technical testing industry was impacted by movement restrictions imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic in various aspects such as data collection, lab access and site visits. However, SAC in collaboration with SMF-TIC Interest Group (IG) and Enterprise Singapore conducted a webinar on Best Practices for Conducting Remote Assessments/Audits in September 2020, to facilitate the adoption of remote testing mechanisms for technical testing industry players.
The webinar included guidelines to perform technical testing during the pandemic, with best practices on remote assessments through examples of existing areas of remote conformity assessments such as remote inspections of vessels through drones, remote survey and certification of steel for rigs, live-streaming survey of ship’s hull and machinery inspection for gas leaks, and data collection on offshore rigs. The webinar also provided guidelines for the preparations to support remote assessments/audits and usage of the Remote Assessment Readiness Checklist.
Singapore’s funding support for enterprises during the pandemic also covered companies in the technical testing industry. SAC’s webinar presented three available funding support schemes for which companies in the technical testing industry would be eligible, in addition to providing guidelines on applying for grants.
- Enhanced Productivity Solutions Grant (PSG)
- Provides up to 80% support for the purchase of pre-approved productivity solutions and equipment.
- Enhanced Enterprise Development Grant (EDG)
- Provides up to 80% support for eligible projects that help businesses to build capabilities, improve productivity, adopt technology/digital solutions or venture overseas.
- Enhanced SG Together Enhancing Enterprise Resilience (STEER) program
- ESG will match SGD 1 for every SGD 2 raised by industry-led funds, up to SGD 1 million per fund for projects such as Adoption of Drones, for example.
SAC outlines emerging industries with high growth potential for technical testing, with the aim of developing capabilities of CABs in those industries
Emerging areas with high growth potential for the technical testing industry include the following, in which there is growing demand for testing and certification:
- Smart Inspections
- Biomedical and Healthcare
- Environmental Sustainability
- Food and Agriculture
- Digitalisation and Cybersecurity
