After successfully attaining NATA accreditation for ISO/IEC 17020 in June 2024, we are proud to announce that AME has now also achieved ISO/IEC 17025 NATA accreditation as of February 2025. This latest accreditation further solidifies our commitment to providing the highest standard of Non Destructive Testing (NDT) and analysis within our industry.
What is ISO/IEC 17025?
ISO/IEC 17025 is the internationally recognised standard for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. It specifies the general requirements that ensure laboratories produce valid and reliable results, fostering confidence in their work. The accreditation process involves rigorous assessment by NATA (National Association of Testing Authorities, Australia) to verify that a laboratory meets the necessary technical and quality management system requirements.
For AME, this accreditation is particularly significant as it directly supports our core services in NDT. ISO/IEC 17025 ensures that our testing methodologies, equipment, and personnel meet the highest levels of precision and accuracy. With this certification, our clients can have full confidence in the integrity and reliability of our NDT services and test results.
