In short

ISO 17025 accreditation in Iloilo City at a glance

DOST Region VI, whose regional office is in Iloilo City, runs Regional Standards and Testing Laboratories that test food and water for chemical and microbiological properties and offer calibration, serving industry, academe and local governments. Any other laboratory in the area, whether attached to a processor, a hotel group or a service business, has to explain why its results deserve trust. ISO/IEC 17025 is the answer: competent staff, validated methods, traceable calibration, estimated measurement uncertainty, controlled sampling and impartial reporting, resulting in accreditation of a defined scope. Customers decide whether it is needed. Sterling prepares the system from its Manila office; the accreditation body, not Sterling, decides.

ISO 17025 in Iloilo City: questions clients ask

What laboratory services exist in the Iloilo area?

DOST Region VI runs Regional Standards and Testing Laboratories offering chemical and microbiological testing of food and water, and calibration services, for industry, academe and local government units across Western Visayas. A private laboratory in the area competes or partners with such public services depending on its niche.

Would an Iloilo laboratory get certification or accreditation under ISO/IEC 17025?

Accreditation is the outcome, not certification. An accreditation body judges a laboratory's technical competence for named tests or calibrations, which differs from a management-system certificate. Sterling prepares the quality and technical system along with the evidence, and the body takes the decision. The route in the Philippines is set out on the country page.
