An ISO 17025 accredited laboratory has proven its technical competence to produce reliable, defensible test data.
Advanced Laboratories holds ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation at both of its labs and has been accredited since 2011, giving dietary supplement, food, and cosmetic manufacturers validated results they can stand behind in audits, on labels, and with customers.
What ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditation Means
ISO/IEC 17025 is the international standard for testing and calibration laboratory competence. Accreditation against it confirms that a lab runs validated methods, maintains calibrated equipment, employs trained personnel, and follows documented quality systems. Together, those controls produce data that holds up to scrutiny.
Accreditation is awarded by an independent accreditation body that audits the lab on a recurring basis. It is not a one-time stamp. We maintain our scope through ongoing assessment, method validation, and proficiency testing.
We operate two ISO/IEC 17025:2017-accredited labs, one in Salt Lake City, Utah and one in Clayton, North Carolina. Both are FDA-registered facilities, and both have carried accreditation since 2011. Samples ship in from anywhere in the US, so you get the same accredited methods and 5-day turnaround no matter where you manufacture.
Accredited Testing You Can Defend
Accredited testing gives you more than a result. It gives you a documented, validated method behind that result, an audit trail, and a Certificate of Analysis your retailers, auditors, and customers will accept. When a result comes back out of spec, we automatically re-run it at no extra cost, so you get defensible data without a rush premium.
Accreditation FAQ
Is Advanced Laboratories an Accredited Testing Laboratory?
Yes. Both of our labs hold ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation and have since 2011. Accreditation covers the specific methods on our scope, which we maintain through recurring third-party assessment.
What Is the Difference Between Accreditation + Certification?
The two are often confused. Certification generally confirms that a product, person, or system meets a defined standard. Accreditation confirms that a laboratory is technically competent to perform specific tests. Advanced Laboratories is ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited, which speaks directly to the reliability of our testing.
