Accreditation of the Laboratory

For the assurance of the independence, integrity, precision and professional contact the international community has imposed processes and procedures to make sure that the results obtained from food laboratories around the world are accurate, correct and consistent from lab to lab and from country to country.

Each country has its own National Accrediting Body, which awards accreditation to laboratories

Due to the lack of a National Body in Cyprus; our administration has applied and received accreditation from the corresponding Greek National Body.
