Schedule of Accreditation
Permanent Laboratory: Category A
THE IRISH NATIONAL ACCREDITATION BOARD (INAB) is the Irish body for the accreditation of
organisations including laboratories. Laboratory accreditation is available to testing and calibration
facilities operated by manufacturing organisations, government departments, educational institutions
and commercial testing/calibration services. Indeed, any organisation involved in testing,
measurement or calibration in any area of technology can seek accreditation for the work it is
undertaking. Each accredited laboratory has been assessed by skilled specialist assessors and found to
meet criteria which are in compliance with ISO/IEC 17025 or ISO/IEC 15189 (medical laboratories).
Frequent audits, together with periodic inter-laboratory test programmes, ensure that these standards
of operation are maintained.
Testing and Calibration Categories:
Category A:
Permanent laboratory calibration and testing where the laboratory is erected on a fixed
location for a period expected to be greater than three years.
Category B: Site calibration and testing that is performed by staff sent out on site by a permanent
laboratory that is accredited by the Irish National Accreditation Board.
Category C: Site calibration and testing that is performed in a site/mobile laboratory or by staff sent
out by such a laboratory, the operation of which is the responsibility of a permanent
laboratory accredited by the Irish National Accreditation Board.
Category D: Site calibration and testing that is performed on site by individuals and organisations that
do not have a permanent calibration/testing laboratory. Testing may be performed using
(a) portable test equipment
(b) a site laboratory
(c) a mobile laboratory or
(d) equipment from a mobile or site laboratory
Standard Specification or Test Procedure Used:
The standard specification or test procedure that is accredited is the issue that is current on the date of the most
recent visit, unless otherwise stated.
Glossary of Terms
Facilities:
Public calibration/testing service: Commercial operations which actively seek work from others.
Conditionally available for public
calibration/testing:
Established for another primary purpose but, more commonly than not,
is available for outside work.
Normally not available for public
calibration/testing:
Unavailable for public calibration/testing more often than not.
Laboratory users wishing to obtain assurance that calibration or test results are reliable and carried out to the Irish
National Accreditation Board criteria should insist on receiving an accredited calibration certificate or test report.
Users should contact the laboratory directly to ensure that this scope of accreditation is current. INAB will on
request verify the status and scope.
