Confidence Through Compliance

ACE Laboratories is an ISO/IEC 17025-accredited facility. The International Organization for Standardization is an independent, non-governmental international organization with a membership of 167 national standards bodies. An ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation signifies that laboratories operate competently and generate valid results, giving clients the highest level of confidence in their data. ISO/IEC 17025 accreditations can only be granted by an authorized accreditation body and they also help facilitate cooperation between laboratories and other bodies by generating wider acceptance of results between countries.

ACE’s ISO/IEC 17025 Scope of Certification includes accreditation for dozens of ATSM standards for testing and analysis. ASTM has more than 12,000 standards that regulate the production and performance of products and services across a wide range of industries.
