Our facilities have achieved accreditation and compliance by the National Association of Testing Authorities (NATA) and Lloyds Register of Quality Assurance (LRQA) with the following standards:

  • AS15189 Medical Laboratories, Requirements for Quality and Competence

Accreditation is achieved by maintaining laboratories and associated services at a high standard. We do this through participation in external quality assurance programs, maintaining a comprehensive Internal Quality Control Program in all areas of testing, and commitment to training and continual professional development for our staff.
