Accredited testing methods in chemical analytics

The flexible accreditation of our analytics guarantees that our own methods developed at Fraunhofer IGB are also validated to the required extent. The quality of our test methods is
guaranteed even when standardized methods are not available.

The quality management system introduced at Fraunhofer IGB was successfully completed on presentation of the accreditation certificate in 2000, which was based on the accreditation
of certain types of tests. Since then it has been further developed in accordance with the latest applicable directives. The accreditation is regularly renewed and extended.

We document the quality of our analyses by regularly participating in suitability tests.
