Fort the third time Ugra has successfully undergone the severe audit for re-accreditation for testing laboratories acc. to ISO 17025.

As a testing laboratory with international customers Ugra operates with a quality system according to ISO 17025. This standard regulates in detail how testing procedures have to be defined, validated and described. It also stipulates that laboratory equipment and testing devices have to be maintained and calibrated regularly with traceability to national or international standards for all values. Evidence for the regular maintenance and calibration has to be produced at any moment.

The practical work in the laboratory is examined closely on the basis of precise orders and the competence of the involved staff is verified by questioning. Mistakes and irregularities are to be recorded and have to result in preventive measures in order to continually improve the quality system. Track of defined measures has to be kept and their implementation has to be proven.
