Our central laboratories are accredited
Our central laboratories serving private and public customer companies have proven their competence locally in Finland through the Finnish Accreditation Service (FINAS) and in Estonia through the Estonian Accreditation Centre (EAK).
Accreditation practices and requirements are globally consistent, which is why accreditations granted by accreditation bodies in different countries can be reciprocally accepted.
The Helsinki central laboratory is accredited by FINAS in accordance with the SFS-EN ISO 15189:2013 standard. A detailed description of the T070 scope of accreditation can be found on the FINAS website.
The central laboratory in Tallinn is accredited by EAK in accordance with the standard EVS-EN ISO 15189:2012. The scope of accredication M003 can be found on the EAK website.
