Accreditation provides the underlying assurance that organizations are adhering to internationally recognized standards.
aboratory test results impact many areas of our daily lives: assurance of safe drinking water, food safety, health care, environmental monitoring, providing energy, mineral exploration and various production processes.

Because ISO 17025 evaluates the technical competence in lab testing and calibration services and it applies to organizations that produce testing and calibration results.
ISO5 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories is the main ISO standard used for the testing and calibration laboratories.
