                                  Quality & Accreditation

                                    Accreditation is not a label. It is the standard we are measured against.

                                      Every result we issue is backed by independent, external verification —not internal self-declaration.

                                      Our DIN ISO/IEC 17025 accreditations are granted by nationally recognised bodies (DAkkS in Germany, UKAS in the UK) following rigorous on-site assessments of technical competence, method validation, measurement uncertainty, and quality management.

                                      Each laboratory in our network holds its own individual accreditation — assessed and renewed independently. Accreditation bodies do not permit quality certificates to cover multi-site networks under a single umbrella. Neither do we.

                                      Beyond accreditation, we participate in regular national and international proficiency testing programmes — ring trials that benchmark our results against peer laboratories across Europe. These are not internal checks. They are external proof.

                                      DIN ISO/IEC 17025 — DAkkS & UKAS
                                      Internationally harmonised standard for testing laboratory competence. Our German sites hold DAkkS accreditation; our UK sites hold independent UKAS accreditation — both regularly reassessed on-site.

                                      External Proficiency Testing
                                      We participate ring trials across analytical disciplines. Results are evaluated against peer laboratories. Deviations trigger documented corrective action.

                                      Harmonised Quality System Across Our Network
                                      Standardised SOPs, method validation, LIMS infrastructure, and audits ensure that analytical results are reproducible and comparable.
