We understand the importance of operating a quality program that meets the requirements
for laboratory operations established by the international community. Every Accutest
facility has implemented a quality system that follows ISO Guide 17025, General Requirements
for the Competence of Calibration and Testing Laboratories.
The structure of ISO Guide 17025 has been adopted by the National
Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Program (NELAP), the voluntary
national accreditation program established by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency. NELAP has established a uniform national standard
for environmental laboratories that places a strong emphasis on quality
systems.
The quality system at each Accutest facility has been designed to
meet NELAP standards. Accutest was among the first laboratories to
submit applications to the approved state accrediting authorities
for recognition as a NELAP accredited laboratory. All Accutest facilities
are presently NELAP accredited.
