ACCREDITATION

About Our Accreditation
The international accreditation standard for laboratory testing services is ISO/IEC 17025. Nemo|etc. facilities are audited and accredited by the following entities:

By virtue of these accreditations, our laboratories are listed and Approved with the following organizations.

In addition, our laboratories are participants in the UL Third-Party Test Data Program (TPTDP), 

whereby test data generated at our laboratories is acceptable for the establishment of UL Certification Listings.

About IAS:

Our primary accreditation is through the International Accreditation Service (IAS); a non-profit, public-benefit corporation that help organizations demonstrate compliance and competence to their customers, regulators and the public.  IAS accredits a wide range of companies and organizations involved in conformity assessment activities such as testing, inspection, certification, fabrication, code compliance and enforcement. Nemo|etc. utilizes IAS as its primary accreditation body due, in part, to IAS being a signatory to the Asia Pacific Accreditation Cooperation and the ILAC Mutual Recognition Arrangement (ILAC MRA).
This allows Code bodies, government agencies and designers-of-record throughout the world to accept Nemo|etc. as an ISO/IEC accredited inspection agency and laboratory; and in turn, accept Nemo|etc. reports.  For example:
  • The Canadian Construction Materials Centre (CCMC) publishes Code evaluation reports for compliance with the National Building Code of Canada. CCMC requires testing performed by “laboratories recognized by CCMC for that particular test method”.   The CCMC website indicates CCMC will recognize “laboratories accredited by the Standards Council of Canada (SCC)”.   Since both IAS and SCC are signatories to the ILAC MRA, SCC recognizes IAS accredited laboratories and, therefore, recognizes Nemo|etc’s laboratories.  By extension, CCMC must recognize Nemo|etc. testing for use in their CCMC reports.
Nemo|etc. laboratories are ISO/IEC accredited to conduct a wide variety of standardized tests from various publishers, including but not limited to:
  • AAMA: American Architectural Manufacturers Association
  • ANSI: American National Standards Institute
  • ASTM: American Society of Testing and Materials
  • CGSB: Canadian General Standards Board
  • CSA: Canadian Standards Association
  • FBC HVHZ TAS: Testing Application Standards (Miami-Dade Test Protocols)
  • FM: FM Approvals, LLC
