Digipath Labs Earns ISO-17025 Accreditation under new 2017 Criteria
LAS VEGAS, Dec. 20, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Digipath, Inc. (OTCQB: DIGP), a service-oriented independent testing laboratory and data firm focused on the developing cannabis and hemp market, is pleased to announce its receipt of ISO 17025:2017 accreditation from Perry Johnson Laboratory Accreditation (PJLA) as Digipath's accreditation body.
In most major countries, ISO/IEC 17025 is the standard of accreditation in order to be deemed technically competent. Laboratory accreditation uses criteria and procedures specifically developed to determine technical competence, thus assuring customers that the testing, calibration and measurement data supplied by the laboratory or inspection service are accurate and reliable.
The International Organization for Standardization and International Electrotechnical Commission (ISO/IEC) specify the general requirements for the competence to carry out tests and/or calibrations, including sampling. ISO 17025:2017 covers testing and calibration performed using standard methods, non-standard methods, and laboratory-developed methods as applicable to all organizations performing laboratory activities, regardless of the number of personnel. The new 2017 standards provided for an update to terminology, process approach, scope, and the concept of risk-based thinking. "Obtaining accreditation under the revised ISO-17025:2017 guidelines was a team effort by Digipath Labs' employees, and is a testament to our commitment to best practices and reliability in testing," stated Cindy Orser, PhD Digipath's Chief Science Officer and Laboratory Director.
With increased regulatory oversight of the cannabis industry on a state by state basis, ISO-17025 accreditation is now a requirement and not an option. "Digipath Labs has now brought its standard of excellence in cannabis testing under the updated ISO-17025:2017 umbrella as we seek to expand our dominance in cannabis testing markets. This is a major step in positioning Digipath as a global leader in testing services," added Todd Denkin, CEO and Founder.
