Quality Standards

We operate in accordance with applicable National and International Standards.  Where appropriate, our laboratories comply with ISO/IEC 17025, the International Standard against which the competence of testing and calibration laboratories is assessed.

Accreditation of our testing and calibration services is through the National Accreditation Bodies of the various countries in which we operate, such as the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS); the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA); the Swedish Board for Accreditation and Conformity Assessment (SWEDAC); and the Irish National Accreditation Board (INAB).

These Bodies are signatories to bilateral and multilateral recognition agreements ensuring international acceptance of the results generated by our laboratories, important in today’s global marketplace.

Our core certification and inspection activities are also accredited to EN 45011(ISO/IEC Guide 65) and ISO/IEC 17020 respectively, enabling Exova to provide a full range of complementary services to an international market.

Regulatory approval of our pharmaceutical laboratories is through the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA); the UK Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA); Health Canada and the Irish Medicines Board (IMB).

Exova also receives approvals from Nadcap and Aerospace Primes and other agencies and clients.
At Exova we recognise the importance of third party accreditation which provides our clients with confidence and trust – the foundations for sound business partnerships.
