Why seek accreditation?

Obtaining NF EN ISO 17025 accreditation

ISO/IEC 17025:2017 is the current version of the international standard that sets out the general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories, including sampling.

Accreditation to NF EN ISO 17025 demonstrates that your laboratory operates in accordance with internationally recognized requirements and that its results are reliable and mutually accepted by governmental and regulatory authorities.

VISKALIACC consultants provide expert guidance to laboratories, helping them understand and effectively implement the requirements of the standard.
