Accreditation

Accred­i­ta­tion demon­strates that the labo­ra­tory meets both the tech­nical and manage­ment system require­ments neces­sary to provide accu­rate and tech­ni­cally valid data and results for specific testing activ­i­ties. Laem­megroup is accred­ited by the accred­i­ta­tion body ACCREDIA in accor­dance with the require­ments of UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018, Accred­i­ta­tion No. 0198L, and has a 20-year accred­i­ta­tion, in force since 1998.

ACCREDIA is a signa­tory of the inter­na­tional mutual recog­ni­tion agree­ments EA-MLA and ILAC-MLA, thanks to which the value of labo­ra­tory accred­i­ta­tion goes beyond national borders and is extended inter­na­tion­ally to all coun­tries that have signed these agreements.

Use of the ACCREDIA mark: the ACCREDIA docu­ment RG-09 ​“Rego­la­mento per l’utilizzo del marchio ACCREDIA” rev. 11 contains some points that concern clients of accred­ited laboratories.

In partic­ular, we high­light following points:

• 5.1.6 Accred­ited parties are required to report to ACCREDIA any misuse or abuse of the accred­i­ta­tion mark or logo of which they become aware.
• 5.3.4 The ACCREDIA mark and any refer­ence to accred­i­ta­tion shall not be affixed to a test sample or product (or part of it) or used to imply product certification.
• 5.3.13 The ACCREDIA mark or refer­ence to accred­i­ta­tion shall not be used by clients of accred­ited labo­ra­to­ries, nor may it be used in docu­men­ta­tion concerning a product, or be placed on a product. A copy of the test report may be attached. The labo­ra­tory shall inform its clients of the reasons for this restric­tion and monitor its appli­ca­tion. Clients of accred­ited labo­ra­to­ries that carry out commer­cial activ­i­ties of accred­ited activ­i­ties (e.g. consulting compa­nies, inter­me­di­aries) that issue test reports with results provided by accred­ited labo­ra­to­ries, cannot use the ACCREDIA mark or the refer­ence to the accred­i­ta­tion of the labo­ra­tory that performed the tests. On the offers of accred­ited services, they cannot use the ACCREDIA mark in any way, but they can mention the refer­ence to the accred­i­ta­tion, showing the accred­i­ta­tion number and the company name of the accred­ited laboratory.
• 9.2 The ACCREDIA logo, as well as the IAF and ILAC marks, are protected by law and there­fore their fraud­u­lent or mali­cious use by accred­ited parties and/​or their clients, where applic­able, will be pros­e­cuted in accor­dance with the law.
  The Labo­ra­tory has accred­ited most of the test methods for fixed scope of accred­i­ta­tion. Since 2018, the Moncalieri Head­quar­ters (Head­quar­ters A) has acti­vated the proce­dure to achieve the accred­i­ta­tion of flex­ible scope, obtaining the first accred­i­ta­tions in the same year. This type of accred­i­ta­tion allows the Labo­ra­tory to promptly meet the clients and author­i­ties’ requests, limited to the accred­i­ta­tion areas of competence.

Since January 2022, the Labo­ra­tory has also obtained accred­i­ta­tion for its oper­a­tional head­quar­ters in Manerbio (Italy) (Head­quar­ters D).
