Marketing benefits
Accreditation is an effective marketing tool for laboratories and a passport to tender submissions for contractors requesting independently validated laboratories.
Through a system of international agreements on mutual recognition, accredited laboratories receive a form of international recognition that allows their data and results to be more easily accepted in foreign markets. This accreditation reduces costs for manufacturers and exporters whose products or materials are tested from an accredited laboratory by reducing or eliminating the need to re-test in another country.
