Accreditation

ICS Laboratories is accredited by the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard. ISO/IEC 17025 is a document that specifies internationally accepted requirements that a laboratory must meet to be deemed competent and for the results that it reports to be considered reliable. ICS has maintained accreditation to this strict standard for laboratory management and technical operation for more than 15 years. The accreditation process entails regular oversight by our accrediting body, including on-site audits of our testing facilities and test performance with year-round documentation submittal requirements.
