Internationally Accredited Laboratory Tests:
International Accreditation:
The laboratory tests have been internationally accredited, and the ISO 17025:2005 certificate was obtained in 2009 from the International Accreditation Service (IAS) in the United States. The accreditation certificate has been renewed in 2012, 2015, and 2018 to confirm the quality of tests and reports issued by the laboratory and their compliance with international standards for testing laboratories.
