Auditing your laboratory

CLAS (the Campden Laboratory Accreditation Scheme) is one of the leading independent laboratory accreditation schemes for food industry laboratories. It was established specifically to meet the need for a recognised standard for food, drink and allied laboratories. Having your laboratory accredited to CLAS will help you achieve consistent, reliable and verifiable results. Nowadays this is often seen as essential in securing relationships with existing clients and acquiring new ones. Benefits deriving from CLAS include:

• Verification of technical competence
• Confidence in results
• Single audit to meet all business/customer needs
• Assistance in due diligence defence
• Contribution to other quality systems/certifications (e.g. BRC, ISO 9000, nabim, Animal Health Ireland)
• Advice on resolution of non–conformances
• Suggestions to improve operations and enhance

CLAS covers a range of laboratories – food, drink, water, environmental, toiletries – involved in microbiology, chemistry, milling or sensory activities.
