Accreditation & compliance
The first step is a fixed-fee readiness assessment: a written report of what stands between your lab and a clean ISO/IEC 17025 or state audit, and the order to fix it in. Then we close the gaps with your team: SOP systems, training, validation packages and the records an assessor asks to see.
Free, 30 minutes, with the people who do the work. No pitch deck.
The problemIn the lab’s own words
Most labs that struggle in an assessment are doing the work. What’s missing is the proof: an SOP that matches the bench, a training record that shows competence, a validation package that answers the assessor’s questions before they’re asked. That’s what we put in order.
“The assessor is here in six weeks and the objective evidence lives in five different places.”
“Our SOPs describe the lab we planned, not the one we run.”
“Everyone’s trained, but nobody can show the assessor when, by whom or on which method.”
“Last year’s corrective actions are still open, and the next audit is on the calendar.”
What we doAccreditation & compliance
The assessment tells you what’s missing and what it will take. Everything after it is optional, scoped from the findings, and yours to hand to someone else if you prefer.
A fixed-fee, written gap assessment against ISO 17025 and your state’s testing rules: management system, technical records, method validation, measurement uncertainty, proficiency testing, training and data integrity. Every finding comes with its fix and its priority.
We close the findings with your team, highest risk first, and index the evidence so any record can be found while the assessor waits.
Complete SOP sets for the tests your state requires, written to your instruments and your workflow, then taught to the people who run them, with training records that show it.
Microbial and fungal contamination traced to its source, with sampling data behind the plan. Led by a microbiologist who worked in an ISO 14644 cleanroom.
How it worksFrom the first call to assessment day
If your assessment is already scheduled, the plan starts from that date and works back.
30 minutes on your scope, your assessment date and what worries you most.
Documents and records reviewed, the lab walked through, the team interviewed. You get a written report for a fixed fee.
We work the findings with your team, highest risk first, against the date.
The evidence is indexed and findable. If the assessor raises findings, we help you answer them.
ProofFigures from our published record
Validation packages, SOP systems and training records built this way have stood up to state auditors and ISO 17025 assessors. The Michigan case shows what that looks like against a fixed date.

QuestionsBefore you book
A fixed fee, quoted on the call once we know your scope: how many methods and sites, and which standard and state rules you’re assessed against.
Every gap between your lab and a clean assessment: the evidence we looked at, the risk, the fix and who should own it, in the order to do them. It covers ISO 17025 and your state’s testing rules.
We agree the turnaround on the call. When your assessment date is fixed, we plan the rest backward from it, even when that date is close.
No. Accreditation comes from an accreditation body, and nothing here implies any body’s endorsement. We prepare your lab for the assessment and help you answer the findings.
Yes: a complete SOP system for your test menu, or a review of the SOPs you have. Either way, we train the people who run them, and the training records show it.
