The Observatory is among the first batch of meteorological authorities in the world certified to ISO 9001:2000 in the provision of aviation meteorological services. Before accepting the appointment, Mr. Chan had been serving as the internal auditor of the Observatory's quality management system since its implementation in 2002. The ICAO appointment is the first of its kind in the Observatory and it reflects the international recognition of the Observatory's achievements in its aviation meteorological services over the years. "I am indeed honored to have this opportunity to contribute to the worldwide effort towards the provision of quality services for aviation", Mr. Chan said.
The drafting of the manual has now been completed. The manual will be published for use by the Contracting States after incorporating comments from WMO. |
