Laboratory Accreditation

The Laboratory is accredited to the ISO 17025 with a flexible scope.  The laboratory’s accreditation number is 121T and its current scope can be obtained from the Irish National Accreditation website at: http://www.inab.ie/Directory-of-Accredited-Bodies/Laboratory-Accreditation/Testing/Pesticide-Control-Laboratory.html.

Being fully accredited is a requirement for all laboratories involved in the official control of foodstuffs.  Being an accredited Laboratory ensures that the EU Commission and our customers can have complete confidence in our laboratory’s ability to analyse samples for pesticide residues.
