• The laboratory experts are competent persons which undergo continuous training, quality control and evaluation;

• The accredited laboratory uses highly sophisticated technical facilities that must be calibrated strictly in accredited calibration laboratories;

• The accredited laboratory provides traceability of testing through the use of certified reference materials for control and adjustment of technical facilities;
