ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Accredited

Ensuring Excellence Through Accredited Testing

We’re ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited, which demonstrates our commitment to technical excellence and quality management. This internationally recognized standard confirms our ability to consistently produce precise and reliable test results that meet both regulatory requirements and our clients’ needs.

What Does an ISO 17025:2017 Accredition Mean?

ISO/IEC 17025:2017 is the premier international standard for testing and calibration laboratories, representing the highest level of technical competence. Our accreditation, granted by Perry Johnson Laboratory Accreditation, Inc. (PJLA), verifies that we:

Operate with technical competence for a clearly defined scope of testing activities.
Maintain a robust quality management system that ensures consistent results.
Follow internationally recognized procedures and methodologies.
Employ qualified personnel who perform tests according to established standards.
Utilize calibrated and maintained equipment that meets specification requirements and that is traceable to NIST standards.

This accreditation demonstrates our compliance with the joint ISO-ILAC-IAF Communiqué dated April 2017 and confirms our laboratory’s adherence to global best practices in testing procedures.

Why Our Accreditation Matters for Your Projects

Working with us as an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited firm provides significant advantages for your infrastructure and transportation projects:

Assured Quality and Reliability

Our accreditation ensures that all testing is performed with the highest level of technical proficiency, following documented procedures that have been thoroughly evaluated by an independent third party. This translates to consistent, accurate results you can trust for critical decision-making.

International Recognition

Test reports from our team are recognized globally, facilitating acceptance of your products and services in international markets. This recognition stems from the international agreements that govern laboratory accreditation bodies.

Reduced Risk and Liability

By partnering with us, you minimize the risk of test failures and potential project delays. Our quality management system includes robust processes for identifying and addressing non-conformities before they impact your results.
