ACT Lab is a leading testing and certification laboratory for a variety of consumer products. One of the most important aspects of our lab is our ISO 17025 accreditation, which is a globally recognized standard for testing and calibration laboratories. Learn why this certification makes us a leading choice for your testing needs.

What is an ISO 17025 Accredited Lab?

 

ISO 17025 is a standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) that outlines the general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. The standard sets out specific requirements for laboratory quality management systems, technical competence, and the calibration and testing of equipment.

As an ISO 17025 accredited lab, ACT Lab has demonstrated a high level of technical competence and the ability to ensure the safety of products going into a variety of international markets. This accreditation is important for our customers, as it ensures that their products are tested to the highest quality standards and that the results of our tests are reliable and accurate.

What Products Can an ISO 17025 Accredited Lab Test?

Our ISO 17025 accreditation covers a wide range of testing services, including bicycle and sports equipment testing, chemical testing, garment and apparel testing, helmet testing and more. We have also been accredited by several other organizations, including the International Accreditation Service (IAS), which further demonstrates our commitment to quality and customer satisfaction.

Maintaining a Higher Standard

Another benefit of ISO 17025 accreditation is that it requires ongoing training and education for our staff. Our technicians are trained to the highest standards, and we invest in ongoing training to ensure that they stay up-to-date with the latest testing methods and technologies. This commitment to training and education ensures that our staff is competent and capable of providing the best possible testing services to our customers.

ISO 17025 accreditation also requires us to participate in regular proficiency testing programs. These programs involve testing samples provided by an external organization, and the results are compared to other labs to ensure that our testing processes are consistent. This type of external validation is critical for maintaining our accreditation and ensuring that our test results are reliable.
