Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (LAS)

The Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (LAS) is a formal process that confirms a laboratory's ability to perform tests and procedures accurately, consistently, and reliably. It involves an official evaluation by an independent accreditation body, which reviews the lab’s management systems, technical competence, and quality controls. Achieving LAS accreditation demonstrates that the laboratory meets international standards, ensuring trustworthy results for clients, regulators, and stakeholders. This process helps maintain high quality and confidence in testing services across various industries such as healthcare, environmental monitoring, and manufacturing.
