To assure high quality of our chemical analysis services, we are using validated methods and documented routines. Innventia is an active member in different standardisation organisations like the Nordic Standardisation Programme (NSP), the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which makes us up-dated about new findings concerning method development. To take part in interlaboratory comparison tests is one fundamental part in our quality control system.

Innventia is accredited for a number of chemical analyses according to ISO 17025, see table below.
