ACLASS Accreditation Services, now an ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board Company, provides laboratory accreditation for testing and calibration laboratories to ISO/IEC 17025.  ACLASS also provides accreditation for reference material producers (RMPs) to ISO Guide 34 and inspection bodies to ISO/IEC 17020. 

ACLASS is internationally recognized by ILAC, APLAC and IAAC through the signing of Multilateral Recognition Arrangements (MRAs). These arrangements facilitate the acceptance of test and calibration data between ACLASS accredited laboratories and the international community. For more information on the recognition and acceptance of ACLASS click on the 'Recognition of ACLASS' tab.

Our strategy is to treat the customer as a partner while maintaining the integrity of the standard. ACLASS helps not only our customers, but our customers' customer recognize the value and importance of laboratory accreditation.  We help our customers enhance their business and technical performance by citing opportunities for improvement during our assessments. ACLASS assessors practice and maintain a congenial approach while conducting assessments.  Our assessors undergo a rigorous selection process with the focus on technical background and ability.  Additionally, we require that each assessor have effective communication skills that embrace our unique approach to customer service.  Our competent assessors, strong customer service, and industry experience make ACLASS the best choice for accreditation.

ACLASS and its customers work together to build technical competence and quality assurance in the industry. Whether it is in staff training, documentation, analytical results or customer satisfaction, our customers gain knowledge as a result of each visit by ACLASS.  Our customers mature their thinking of accreditation and continually use it as a training tool and confidence builder for their quality and technical management systems.
