Consulting for companies in the laboratory sector, such as GSC, is essential to ensure regulatory compliance, maintain high quality standards, and strengthen their competitive positioning.
In a sector such as laboratories—governed by strict regulations, international standards, and growing pressure for innovation—having specialized consulting is a strategic necessity. Now more than ever, laboratories must demonstrate technical competence, guarantee the reliability of their results, and adapt to a constantly changing regulatory environment.
That is why at GSC we explore how our expert consulting makes a difference in the daily operations of laboratories, from standards implementation to accreditation, as well as continuous improvement and technical staff training.
Why is specialized consulting key for laboratories?
Work in a laboratory is not limited to carrying out tests or calibrations. Behind every valid result, there are procedures, validations, documentation, regulatory monitoring, and continuous review. In sectors such as food, environment, pharmaceuticals, or industry, an error in the laboratory can have significant legal, economic, or reputational consequences.
That is why GSC’s consulting services provide not only technical knowledge but also practical experience and strategic vision to address today’s challenges:
- Regulatory requirements (ISO 17025, ISO 9001, GLP, etc.).
- National accreditations (ENAC).
- Process optimization and reduction of non-conformities.
- Technical staff training.
- Document management and traceability.
- Internal audits and preparation for external audits.
GSC Consulting Services
At GSC we have been supporting testing and calibration laboratories for more than 30 years. We don’t offer standard solutions: we work from a deep understanding of each organization to build customized, effective, and sustainable quality systems.
Support in Regulatory Compliance
One of GSC’s main focuses as a consulting firm is to ensure that our clients comply with all legal and regulatory requirements applicable to their sector. We make sure that each laboratory process is supported by clear, well-documented procedures aligned with the required standards.
From management systems according to ISO/IEC 17025 to specific protocols for sectors such as food or environment, our technical team works hand-in-hand with each company to adapt the standard to their real operations, without creating unnecessary bureaucracy.
This approach allows not only to achieve compliance, but to maintain it effectively and seamlessly during accreditation audits.
Improving Technical and Operational Quality
Effective consulting is not limited to helping meet a standard. At GSC, we go further, supporting companies to improve their technical performance, optimize their processes, and increase efficiency. This includes:
- Risk and opportunity analysis.
- Validation of testing and calibration methods.
- Measurement uncertainty evaluation.
- Internal and external quality control.
- Metrological traceability.
- Review and improvement of quality indicators.
Thanks to this work, laboratories not only operate with greater safety and precision but also reduce costs associated with repeated testing, errors, or deviations.
Continuous Training
Another key pillar of GSC’s consulting services is technical training. In such a specialized sector, human capital is one of the most important assets, and continuous training is key to success.
At GSC we offer interlaboratory comparisons tailored to each laboratory, with a practical and results-oriented approach. From training on standards interpretation to hands-on workshops on method validation or uncertainty calculation, you can find the most suitable option for your company.
The goal is clear: for teams to work with greater safety, regulatory understanding, and ability to face audits, regulatory changes, and daily operations.
Support in Accreditation and Audit Processes
Obtaining and maintaining ENAC accreditation is a complex challenge for any laboratory. At GSC, we support our clients throughout this process, from the initial diagnosis to resolving post-audit non-conformities.
This comprehensive support includes:
- Document preparation.
- Management of corrective actions and improvement opportunities.
- Technical communication with ENAC if required.
Our approach is based on technical rigor, practical experience, and direct involvement with the client.
Consulting for laboratories in the agri-food, environmental, and other sectors is a strategic tool to ensure regulatory compliance, strengthen technical quality, and gain competitiveness in the market. In an increasingly demanding environment, having the support of an expert team such as GSC makes the difference.
