IDL appoints chief quality officer

December 06, 2007

Dubai, United Arab Emirates—International Diamond Laboratories (IDL) has appointed Peter Borgmans as chief quality officer of its global lab operations.

He will serve as a liaison between customers and the lab, and will secure consistent diamond-grading results.

Borgmans' background certainly makes him ready for his task.

He was recently involved in quality management for Polygon, one of the leading online marketplaces for diamonds and jewelry. Prior to that, he served for 27 years as HRD's quality manager in the Certificates Department, where he was responsible for initiating accreditation of diamond labs in accordance with ISO standards.

He has also worked as the secretary of the International Diamond Council, a working group of the World Federation of Diamond Bourses that standardizes grading systems of all diamond laboratories.

IDL Chief Executive Officer Peter Meeus said Borgmans' expertise in the field of ISO standards and quality management supplements IDL's strategy of consistent diamond grading.

"We are convinced the trade will appreciate having a dedicated and independent expert as the single point of contact regarding all grading results," he said in a media release.

IDL believes that having a single quality officer through which to channel all discussions on grading results will avoid any direct contact with or influencing of the graders.
