Services Overview
Lab Accreditation & Quality Partners provides consulting services to help laboratories develop strong quality management systems and achieve accreditation. Our services support laboratories at every stage of the accreditation journey, from initial gap assessments and documentation development to full quality system implementation and ongoing technical advisory support.
We work with laboratories to build practical, compliant systems aligned with GLP, ISO/IEC 17025 and AOAC requirements. Whether you need help preparing for accreditation, strengthening existing quality processes, developing SOPs, conducting internal audits, or navigating technical compliance questions, our services are designed to provide clear guidance and effective solutions tailored to your laboratory.
Accreditation Readiness & Gap Assessment
Understanding where your laboratory stands is the first step toward successful accreditation. Our Accreditation Readiness & Gap Assessment evaluates your quality systems and operations against ISO/IEC 17025 and AOAC requirements.
During the assessment we review:
• Quality management system documentation
• Standard operating procedures and records
• Method validation and verification practices
• Internal audit and compliance processes
You will receive a clear summary of findings along with practical recommendations to strengthen your quality system and prepare for accreditation.
This service is ideal for laboratories beginning the accreditation process or seeking an independent evaluation of their readiness.$2,500 – $8,000 depending on laboratory size, scope, and current quality system maturity.
Quality Management System Development
A strong Quality Management System (QMS) is essential for successful laboratory accreditation. Our Quality Management System Development service helps laboratories design, implement, and strengthen quality systems aligned with ISO/IEC 17025 and AOAC accreditation requirements.
We work with laboratory leadership and technical staff to develop clear policies, procedures, and documentation that support compliant and efficient laboratory operations. Whether building a quality system from the ground up or improving an existing framework, we provide structured guidance to support long-term accreditation success.
Our goal is to create quality systems that are compliant, practical, and fully integrated into everyday laboratory operations.$8,000 – $40,000 depending on laboratory size, scope of testing, and level of quality management system development required.
SOP & Technical Documentation Development
Clear, well-structured documentation is essential for maintaining laboratory quality, consistency, and accreditation compliance. Our SOP & Technical Documentation Development service helps laboratories create, revise, and organize the documentation required to support ISO/IEC 17025 and AOAC accreditation.
We work directly with laboratory leadership and technical staff to develop practical, easy-to-follow procedures that accurately reflect laboratory operations while meeting accreditation requirements. Our approach ensures documentation is both compliant and usable for daily laboratory activities.
Whether your laboratory needs a complete documentation framework or improvements to existing procedures, we help build a structured and controlled documentation system that supports long-term quality management and operational consistency.$2,500 – $12,000 depending on the number and complexity of procedures required.
Internal Audits & Compliance Reviews
Internal audits are a critical component of maintaining an effective laboratory quality management system and preparing for accreditation assessments. Our Internal Audits & Compliance Review service provides laboratories with an independent, objective evaluation of their quality systems, procedures, and operational practices against ISO/IEC 17025 and AOAC accreditation requirements.
We conduct structured internal audits designed to simulate the experience of an accreditation assessment, identifying areas of compliance as well as potential nonconformities before an external audit occurs. This process helps laboratories strengthen their systems, address risks early, and approach accreditation with confidence.
Our audits focus not only on identifying gaps, but also on providing practical recommendations to improve processes, documentation, and quality system effectiveness.$3,000 – $15,000 depending on laboratory size, scope, and number of methods audited.
Accreditation Implementation & Assessment Preparation
Achieving laboratory accreditation requires careful preparation, structured implementation, and a clear understanding of accreditation body expectations. Our Accreditation Implementation & Assessment Preparation service supports laboratories through the final stages of building, implementing, and preparing their quality systems for ISO/IEC 17025 and AOAC accreditation.
We work closely with laboratory leadership and technical teams to ensure quality systems, procedures, records, and technical operations are fully aligned with accreditation requirements. This service focuses on transforming documented systems into fully operational practices while preparing staff for the accreditation assessment process.
Through structured preparation and practical guidance, laboratories gain confidence that their systems, documentation, and personnel are ready for a successful accreditation audit.$10,000 – $50,000+ depending on laboratory size, scope of testing, and accreditation readiness.
Recommended
Sometimes laboratories need targeted guidance rather than a full consulting engagement. Our hourly coaching service provides flexible, expert support to help you navigate accreditation requirements, quality system challenges, and documentation development.
This service is ideal for laboratories that need help troubleshooting specific issues, reviewing quality system elements, or gaining clarity on ISO/IEC 17025 and AOAC accreditation expectations.
During an hourly session, we can assist with topics such as:
Interpreting ISO/IEC 17025 requirements
Preparing for AOAC accreditation
Quality management system structure
SOP development and documentation review
Internal audit preparation
Corrective and preventive action (CAPA) strategies
Accreditation readiness questions
General quality system troubleshooting
Sessions are conducted virtually and provide practical, actionable guidance tailored to your laboratory’s specific situation.
Trusted by laboratories building strong quality systems and pursuing ISO/IEC 17025 and AOAC accreditation.
