TAAG Genetics Announces ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Accreditation in Chicago-area Laboratory

ST. CHARLES, Ill., Sept. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- TAAG Genetics announced today that its recently launched St. Charles, IL laboratory has been ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited through the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA). This accreditation (certificate #5749.01) allows TAAG to confidently state that their results are valid and produced in an operationally competent laboratory, a key achievement for any testing facility.

As an international laboratory with a history of over 20 years in genetic testing in the food safety and clinical industries, securing ISO accreditation is not a new task for TAAG Genetics. Their affiliate labs in Chile and Mexico are already ISO 17025 accredited through A2LA in addition to the Instituto Nacional de Normalización (INN) and the Entidad Mexicana de Acreditación (EMA), respectively. The achievement of another accreditation through A2LA speaks to the robustness of the TAAG quality management system, having successfully passed multiple regulatory inspections in all three countries.

TAAG's Research and Development Director, Mauricio Niklitschek, stated, "We are pleased to have secured ISO 17025 accreditation through A2LA here in the United States. Our quality system has proven successful in both of our affiliate labs, and this accreditation confirms once again that our laboratories are committed to achieving the highest level of excellence, safety, and quality."
