Accreditation

Accreditation is a great asset for any laboratory and a mark of guarantee for anyone wishing to buy a DNA kit from a company that uses such laboratores. Within the genetic testing industry, laboratories are given in ISO 17025 accreditation if they follow strict guidelines when analysing your DNA samples and employ a given level of technical proficiency. ISO accredited laboratories have to analyse a certain number of genetic markers which will determine the accuracy of the results. ISO accredited laboratories are subject to inspections to verify that the standards set are being followed and the accreditation will be taken away should the laboratories slack at any time.
