Accreditation

An important term which acts as a major distinguishing factor when talking about a business’s technical know-how and will ultimately, play a key role in the reliability and validity of the test results. To be accredited, companies have to be audited or externally reviewed by a body responsible for making sure standards are met. ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation) is one of the most widely recognised accreditations. Accreditations give status to the laboratory and can easily be taken away should there not be full compliance with the regulations set by the accrediting company. ISO 17025 is the accreditation to look for when finding a DNA testing company. This accreditation is specifically for laboratory testing services and thus, is quite central in determining the validity of DNA testing results. easyDNA offers ISO accredited testing.
