ORIGINALLY conceived in 2014 as a response to the challenge of initiating the harmonization of testing laboratories in the country, the Department of Science and Technology (DoST)'s One-Stop Laboratory for Global Competitiveness or OneLab Network has gone a long way from being a network of laboratories in the country to expanding its network abroad.

DoST OneLab aims to ensure availability of and broadening public access to testing and calibration services at a single touchpoint via an information technology-based platform.
