ISO 17025 accreditation in Frankfurt am Main at a glance
A test result is only as good as the laboratory behind it. Frankfurt has plenty of demand for reliable results: Infraserv Höchst lists laboratory services among the offerings at Industriepark Höchst, and the Rhine-Main processing industry relies on testing and calibration for production and for customers. ISO/IEC 17025 sets the competence requirements: impartiality, personnel, equipment and metrological traceability, method validation, measurement uncertainty and reporting. It is an accreditation standard, so the national accreditation body assesses the laboratory; DAkkS even has a site in Frankfurt, though its assessors are independent of Sterling. Sterling's Frankfurt office prepares the laboratory for assessment, and the legal and accreditation context sits on the Germany page.

ISO 17025 in Frankfurt am Main: questions clients ask
Is ISO 17025 accreditation or certification?
It is accreditation. The national accreditation body assesses the laboratory's competence for defined methods, and in Germany that body is DAkkS, which has a site in Frankfurt am Main. Sterling prepares the laboratory but takes no part in the assessment. Ask DAkkS to confirm the scope you intend to apply for.
Which Frankfurt laboratories seek ISO 17025?
Testing and calibration laboratories that serve process industry and pharmaceutical customers, including those attached to production sites. Customers often ask for an accredited result, and regulators in some sectors accept only accredited laboratories. Check with your main customers whether accreditation is a contract term.
