Competence requirements include testing performed using standard and/or non-standard methods and laboratory-developed methods. ISO 17025 not only considers the management and technical expertise, but also emphasizes continuous process improvement.

The accreditation provides our customers with the utmost confidence that the accuracy of testing results produced by ChromaDex will carry a high degree of credibility and acceptance."
