Laboratory
The laboratory at DNA Bioscience is accredited to the highest of standards. The laboratory we use is accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard and we perform all your DNA testing twice to ensure that there is no possible chance of error.
The ISO/IEC Guide 25: "General requirements for the competence of calibration and testing laboratories," has been the internationally recognized basic document for accreditation of laboratories including chemical analysis. The attainment of accreditation is mandatory for some regulatory work areas and frequently is the basis of contracts for analytical work. In 2000 the draft has been replaced by the International Standard ISO/IEC DIS 17025: General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories.
The ISO/IEC 17025 standard states that if testing and calibration laboratories comply with ISO/IEC 17025, you also operate in accordance with ISO 9001 or ISO 9002 . However, calibration against ISO 9001 and 9002 does not itself demonstrate the competence of the laboratory to produce technically valid data and results.
Many laboratories will want to get registration to ISO 9000 along with the 17025 accreditation. To address this request, some accreditation bodies and registrars are working out a partnership to use one auditor to perform both the 17025 audit and the ISO 9000 audit simultaneously. Talk to the accreditation body and the registrar to see if they can provide this service.
