Eurofins US Microbiology Division Achieves ISO 17025 Accreditation
We are proud to announce that two Eurofins US laboratories, the Eurofins Nutrition Analysis Center (Des Moines, IA) and Eurofins Strasburger & Siegel (Hanover, MD) received their ISO/IEC 17025:2005 Accreditation for Microbiology by A2LA. This achievement is in addition to ISO accreditations for chemistry in multiple Eurofins US laboratories.
The ISO accreditation provides a solid platform for the Eurofins US Food Testing Division to expand our microbiology services. Having ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accreditation is highly regarded both nationally and internationally as a reliable indicator of competence. The ISO scope was based on tests and calculations considered most common for our clients’ testing needs. Achieving this initial accreditation for our microbiology operations is only the beginning for the Eurofins US Microbiology division; our plans are to add more tests to our accredited scope throughout the coming year.

Chief Scientific Officer for Microbiology, Dr. Douglas Marshall, said “Microbiological testing is a growing component of the US food testing market and Eurofins’ continual investment in quality is reflective of our goal to be the leading and the most trusted service provider in this market.”
