Trying to find an ISO 17025 accredited testing laboratory to verify our test results

[Rachel]

Hi folks,
Sorry if this is repetitive in any way - I did a quick search and didn't find what I was looking for.

We are currently dealing with a potential customer that wants us to have some of our testing verified by an ISO 17025-accredited lab. As a result, I have to find an accredited lab that will accept outside requests for testing. Does anyone know of any website or central location that I can access to find a list of accredited labs? Maybe I'm just not Googling effectively...

Cheers,
-R.

Rachel,

I don't know of a central depository of 17025 accrediations, but you can check directly on the websites of the major accrediation bodies:

www.a2la.org
www.l-a-b.com
www.aclasscorp.com

There are probably some others, but a2la and l-a-b are probably the biggest.

What type of lab are you looking for anyway?

Oops - kind of a critical piece of information!

What kind of testing?

Just physical property testing of a foam.
Anyone familiar with GM 3628M? It's along those lines.

Given that you are in Ontario, Canada, I recommend talking to UL Canada, in Toronto......I've been there, good lab.

We have used these two in the past for automotive testing.

I can also recommend ITS (Intertek Testing Services) in Toronto and Montreal.
