Accreditation Program
Testing & Calibration Laboratories Accreditation
Carried out by a competent and impartial body, accredited testing and calibration guarantees that a laboratory delivers services that are reliable and traceable to the International System of Units.
Program overview
Inaccurate testing and measurement results can have serious consequences for manufacturing processes and generate additional costs for businesses. The reliability of the measurements carried out is therefore essential — and this involves the testing and calibration of the equipment used.
Carried out by a competent and impartial body, accredited testing and calibration guarantees that the laboratory delivers services that are reliable and traceable in the International System of Units.
Thanks to multilateral arrangements, the testing and calibration certificates issued are recognised in many countries around the world, which facilitates trade.
Gaining recognition for your laboratory's technical competence is a means of capturing new markets, since many organisational standards used by businesses require the traceability of measurements according to the International System of Units.
