Accreditation

On February 27th, 2002, the Standards Council of Canada (SCC) accredited Accurassay Laboratories for Gold, Platinum, Palladium, Copper, Nickel, and Cobalt under ISO/IEC Guideline 17025, one of the first laboratories in Canada to be so accredited.  We voluntarily participated in this world-recognized Accreditation Program to hold ourselves accountable to the higher standards now demanded by the mining and mineral exploration industries. The accreditation process covers all aspects of our assay laboratory practices from start to finish.  It examines our Standard Operating Procedures (SOP’s), our Quality Control and Quality Assurance Mandates (QC/QA) and necessitates successful participation in the PTP-MAL performance testing program to maintain our accreditation. Accurassay will continue to participate in the Accreditation Program and to expand our analytical scopes as the SCC outlines them.

(Conforms with requirements of CAN−P−4D (ISO/IEC 17025), and CAN−P−1579)
