Changes to LABRIS laboratory accreditations effective from 26 June 2026

26.06.2026 | 13:02

In April this year, an assessment team from the Estonian Accreditation Centre (EAK) visited LABRIS laboratories in Kuressaare, Tallinn and Tartu to carry out a surveillance assessment.

As a result of the assessment, it was confirmed that our laboratories continue to meet all accreditation requirements. 

The scope of accreditation has been supplemented and expanded as follows:

  • The determination of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in food by the GC-MS method has been accredited.
  • The determination of fat content in food has been added to the flexible scope of accreditation.
  • The determination of nitrites and nitrates (method KE-TJ-43, ver. 5, FIA) has been extended to fish and fish products.
  • Quaternary ammonium compounds (BAC, DDAC) have been added to the scope of accreditation.
  • Avian orthoavulavirus 1 (Newcastle disease virus) testing (method MA-TJ-3, ver. 4) has been extended to new matrices: organ samples (lung, trachea, brain tissue), allantois, tracheal swab.
