Why Do You Need To Know About Accreditation And Accuracy?

Accreditation is your assurance of a laboratory’s capabilities and technical competence. An accreditation is awarded to a laboratory only after it is has been thoroughly assessed for its competence based on standard procedure guidelines. The assessment is normally carried out by third party assessors who will evaluate all the factors in the laboratory that will influence the final production of the test result. In order to obtain an international level of accreditation, a DNA testing laboratory needs to have passed rigorous inspections, auditing and consistently showed the necessary level of technical expertise in carrying out tests. Using an accredited laboratory means that you can be assured of the quality, accuracy and reliability of your test.
