"This is an important achievement for Lampung Quarantine, as it has passed the global proficiency test for two consecutive years," he said in a statement received in Bandarlampung on Thursday.
According to him, the achievement confirms the Lampung animal quarantine laboratory as a high-standard laboratory recognized internationally.
"The achievement is not only a source of pride for the Quarantine Laboratory, but also proof that Indonesia is capable of competing and being recognized for the quality of animal diagnostics at the Asia-Pacific level," he said.
Muksydayan explained that the success demonstrates that all data produced by the animal quarantine laboratory has undergone an accurate, consistent, and accountable testing process in accordance with SNI ISO/IEC 17205 standards.
"The laboratory is capable of producing data that not only meets standards but is also recognized and aligned with international laboratories," he said.
"Through a consistent track record of achievement, the quarantine laboratory must become a strategic partner and reference for animal, fish, and plant quarantine services," he added.
He believes that the laboratory will not only set a global quality standard for Indonesia's quarantine system but will also be able to compete internationally.
"We are committed to continuously improving the quality of laboratory services, ensuring that every test result meets international standards, and supporting national animal health resilience," he stated.
