ISO 17025 accreditation in Riyadh at a glance
Riyadh's laboratories serve an unusually broad customer base: the three Ministry of Health clusters, the Saudi Food and Drug Authority headquartered in the city, manufacturers in MODON's Riyadh 1st Industrial City and the contractors behind the Royal Commission for Riyadh City's mega projects. ISO/IEC 17025 sets the competence requirements for testing and calibration: method validation, measurement uncertainty, traceability, impartiality and result reporting. Accreditation is granted by the national accreditation body after an assessment, not by Sterling and not through a certificate. Laboratories use it to win customer and regulator confidence in their results. Sterling prepares the quality system and technical records from its Riyadh office ahead of the assessment, with Effivity and Sterling Academy included with the engagement.

ISO 17025 in Riyadh: questions clients ask
Who accredits a laboratory in Riyadh?
Laboratory accreditation is given by the national accreditation body, the Saudi Accreditation Center, which lists accredited Riyadh laboratories in its public directory. Sterling does not accredit; it prepares the laboratory for the assessment. Details of the accreditation route and scope are set out on the Saudi Arabia page.
Which Riyadh customers most often ask laboratories for accredited results?
Health-sector customers, including the Ministry of Health clusters and suppliers dealing with the Saudi Food and Drug Authority, manufacturers in MODON's Riyadh 1st Industrial City and contractors on the Royal Commission for Riyadh City's projects. Each sets its own expectations, so confirm with the customer whether accredited results are required and for which tests.
