The Quality Assurance Standard

Accutest operates a quality program which meets the requirements for laboratory operations established by the international community. Accutest 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 originally established by the USEPA. NELAP has established a uniform national standard for environmental laboratories that places a strong emphasis on quality systems.

The Quality System at Accutest 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 laboratories in the Accutest network are NELAP accredited.
