ISO Accreditation of TTB Laboratory
We are pleased to announce that our Scientific Services Division has successfully achieved re-accreditation against the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard from the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA), an ISO accreditation body, for another two years. Our new scope of accreditation will be valid through July 31, 2027.
Through accreditation, TTB achieves third-party recognition of the quality of our data and results. ISO accreditation promotes recognition and respect for our laboratories’ technical competence by industry and other government agencies, both nationally and internationally.
During this accreditation cycle, we expanded our scope of accreditation by the addition of Carbon Dioxide in Alcoholic Beverages.
