We’re proud to announce that Cortec Laboratories® has successfully passed its biennial ISO/IEC 17025:2017 external audit, officially renewing our accreditation for another two years. This achievement reinforces the competency, consistency, and credibility of the testing we provide under our ISO 17025 scope.
The audit, conducted onsite by a representative from PJLA (Perry Johnson Laboratory Accreditation, Inc.) from June 2nd to 4th, marked a significant milestone—it was the first full in-person audit since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. This face-to-face format offered valuable opportunities for discussion and learning, especially for newer members of our team who were introduced to the audit process for the first time. The auditor praised the engagement of our staff, and our team walked away with fresh insights that will strengthen how we operate moving forward.
Being an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited lab means Cortec Laboratories® is held to a higher standard than labs without accreditation—comparable to earning a full college degree versus completing a few individual courses. This level of accreditation provides our clients with added confidence that the testing services they receive are backed by rigor, reliability, and recognized expertise.With this re-accreditation in place, we’re excited to continue leading onward in corrosion testing—helping customers make smarter, data-driven decisions backed by validated lab performance.
