What is “Accreditation” and why is “NATA accreditation” important?
Accreditation is a formal, third party recognition of competence to perform specific tasks and is a means whereby the selection of a laboratory, inspection or certification body is an informed choice.
NATA accreditation demonstrates that a testing facility has been successful at meeting the requirements of international and Australian accreditation standards. Moreover, that the facility is competent to provide consistently reliable certification, testing, inspection and calibration services to third parties.
EAPL holds NATA Accreditation for:
- Laboratory analysis of materials for asbestos content in accordance with ISO 17025
