Sampling Organizations Accreditations

The foundation of any laboratory or inspection body’s reputation is built on confidence in the ability to provide correct and reliable data. Appropriate sampling methodology including the collection, labeling, and handling of samples used for testing and inspection are vital to the reliability and overall quality of the data produced.

Our goal through accreditation is to improve the quality of the organizations performing sample collection activities and the quality of the samples collected. Accreditation of sampling organizations can support all industries relying on high quality sample collection to assure quality of their data.

ANAB accredited sampling organizations are required to operate under a quality management system and have processes and procedures in place for assuring the quality of the environmental sample collection activities performed.
