Only an ISTA Member Laboratory may apply for Accreditation.
You can request an application form by e-mailing the Head of Accreditation and Technical Department.

Laboratories applying for Accreditation must participate in the ISTA inter-laboratory Proficiency Testing programme. To take part in the programme, contact the ISTA Secretariat.

Quality Management System

A laboratory applying for Accreditation must establish a quality management system, according to the ISTA Accreditation Standard. The quality management system should be documented in a quality manual and should also include standard operating procedures (SOPs) and work instructions (WIs).

For more details, follow the Guidelines for developing quality documentation.
