Accreditation for Testing, Calibration & Medical Laboratories

Management Board of Accreditation Services (MBAS) provides accreditation services for laboratories to demonstrate technical competence, impartiality, reliability, and consistency of results in accordance with internationally accepted standards.
MBAS Laboratory Accreditation Schemes are designed to assess competence and operational effectiveness of laboratories engaged in testing, calibration, medical examination, inspection support, and related conformity assessment activities.

Laboratory accreditation under MBAS is developed in line with internationally recognized requirements, including:
  • 1. ISO/IEC 17025 – Testing & Calibration Laboratories
  • 2. ISO 15189 – Medical Laboratories
  • 3. ISO/IEC 17043 – Proficiency Testing Providers (if applicable)
These requirements apply to laboratories regardless of size, personnel count, or scope of activity and cover competence, impartiality, traceability, measurement reliability, quality systems, reporting accuracy, personnel competency, and continual improvement.
