ABOUT OUR TESTING
What laboratory accreditation
should you look for?
Laboratories can claim to be accredited by a range of bodies, but some certifications are more relevant than others.
The ISO 17025 standard that Cansford Laboratories’ test processes meet is the most appropriate for UK drug and alcohol testing laboratories, and is awarded by the Government certification body, UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service).
When choosing your laboratory, use the UKAS schedule search tool to check that the company is accredited to test for a wide range of substances, including your target substance and the relevant metabolite.
