ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited Testing Services
Compatible Electronics is accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 under NVLAP Lab Code 200527-0 — one of the most comprehensive EMC, product safety, and wireless/RF accreditation scopes in Southern California. Many economies worldwide require accreditation before accepting EMC test results, including the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Taiwan, Korea, Singapore, and many South American markets.
What ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditation Means for You
ISO/IEC 17025 is the international standard for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. A laboratory's fulfillment of its requirements means the lab meets both the technical competence requirements and the management system requirements necessary to consistently deliver technically valid test results. The management system requirements in ISO/IEC 17025 (Section 4) are written in language relevant to laboratory operations and meet the principles of ISO 9001 Quality Management Systems.
For manufacturers, testing at an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory means test reports carry formal recognition of technical competence — accepted by regulatory authorities, certification bodies, and government agencies around the world. Our scope of accreditation covers EMC emissions, immunity, product safety, wireless/RF, and medical device testing across hundreds of international and national standards.
To maintain NVLAP accreditation, our laboratories are re-evaluated regularly to ensure continued compliance with requirements and that our standard of operation is maintained. As a condition of accreditation, we also participate in relevant proficiency testing programs between reassessments as a further demonstration of technical competence.

NVLAP is an ILAC-MRA Signatory
NVLAP is a signatory to the ILAC Mutual Recognition Arrangement (ILAC-MRA), a network of accreditation bodies spanning more than 100 economies. The ILAC Arrangement supports international trade by promoting global confidence and acceptance of accredited laboratory test results, reducing technical barriers to trade — such as the requirement to retest products each time they enter a new economy.
Because Compatible Electronics' NVLAP accreditation is ILAC-MRA recognized, our test reports are accepted by regulatory authorities and certification bodies in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore, across the EU, and many other markets — often from a single test campaign, without retesting.
