Abstract:

Laboratory Accreditation-Impact on Society Laboratory accreditation has had a growing and significant influence on the world of calibration and testing. Over the past decade, there has been a major increase in the number of laboratories which have sought and achieved accreditation of their services. In addition, a number of new accrediting bodies have been founded. This presentation takes a critical look at the impact of laboratory accreditation and how it has affected the quality of the services delivered. It addresses such issues as the cost/benefit ratio of accreditation, the strengths and weaknesses of the process, and how accreditation might be improved.
