Accreditation for Chemical

The Safe And Accurate Storage, Transport, Labeling Use In Chemicals For Industrial Purpose

To handle chemicals safely requires accuracy, proficiency, conformity and compliance – all of which are given by accredited inspection, measurement, testing and certification assessments.

For example from garden pesticides and paints to massive industrial processing plants and chemicals are used every day by individuals and businesses for positive results. Whether it is on the micro scale of chemical analysis or the micro scale of petrochemical processing, chemicals are a vital part of daily life. But using chemicals carries dangerous and risky and is therefore subject to considerable levels of control, whether the chemicals are in a lab test tube.

UKJAS Accreditation Pvt. Ltd (from ukjas.com) is an independent accreditation body that provides accreditation services for various conformity assessment activities including testing laboratories, third-party inspection bodies, certification bodies, training institutes, etc. They base their accreditation on ISO/IEC conformity assessment standards such as: ISO/IEC 17025, 17020, 17021, 17024 and 17065. UKJAS+1

Relevant Standards for Chemical Laboratories

ISO/IEC 17025 – This is the international standard for competence of testing and calibration laboratories. It applies to all types of testing, including chemical analysis, and assesses factors such as technical competence, valid methods, equipment suitability, staff skills, quality assurance of results, and traceability of measurements. UKJAS
UKJAS can accredit a laboratory under ISO/IEC 17025 if it meets these requirements (this would include chemical testing disciplines if included in the scope). UKJAS

Note: UKJAS itself is not a national official accreditation body like UKAS (UK Accreditation Service) or other ILAC-member bodies. It is an independent accreditation service provider. UKJAS

⚖️ About Chemical Accreditation (Typical Scope)

For laboratories involved in chemical testing or analysis, accreditation usually means demonstrating competence to carry out tests like:

Chemical composition and concentrations
Environmental chemical analysis (e.g., soil, water, emissions)
Materials chemical testing (paints, coatings, fuels, gases)
