Accreditation Information

How verification works

Standard

ISO/IEC 17025

The international standard for testing-lab competence — the baseline for NIHC Verify accreditation.

Process

Assessment & audit

Method validation, proficiency testing, and on-site assessment against the standard before a lab is listed as verified.

Maintenance

Ongoing surveillance

Verification is not one-and-done — continued proficiency and re-assessment keep the badge current across the ecosystem.
