Quality and accreditation
Accredited according to ISO/IEC 17025
Swedac, the Swedish accreditation body, has accredited our laboratory for testing (emission measurements) and for the calibration of gas velocity and gas flow. Here is what that means and how we work.
Accreditation
Assessed by Swedac
-
Testing and calibration
The accreditation covers emission measurements from the offices in Enköping, Falun and Skellefteå, and the calibration of pitot tubes and gas meters in Enköping. The methods it includes are listed in the scope in Swedac's register.
Swedac's register -
Regular surveillance
Swedac carries out regular surveillance and a reassessment every four years. Accreditation means that the laboratory has been assessed as having the competence required and as working impartially and consistently. It is issued under the European multilateral agreement (EA MLA) and is therefore equivalent to accreditations in other countries.

- Accredited methodsWe measure according to the standards, with accredited methods and calibrated instruments.
- Risk assessment before every assignmentWe go through the risks at the measurement site before the work begins.
- Digitally signed reportThe results and the measurement uncertainty are reported in an accredited, digitally signed report.
- Our own equipmentWe build, repair and calibrate our equipment ourselves.
- Accredited partner laboratoriesAnalyses we do not do ourselves, for example of metals, dioxins and carbon-14, are done by accredited laboratories.
