Medical Testing Laboratories

We offer an internationally-recognized Medical Testing Laboratories Accreditation Program, which is based on ISO 15189, the international standard for medical laboratories. 

SCC accreditation serves as a cornerstone for medical testing laboratories, instilling confidence in their service delivery and fostering customer trust. By securing independent, third-party, and credible test results, laboratories strengthen their industry reputation. Accreditation is widely recognized as a reliable indicator of technical competence, prompting various players in the medical industry to routinely seek accreditation for their laboratory service providers.

For laboratories operating in Quebec, our program is conducted in partnership with the Bureau de normalisation du Québec (BNQ). Through this collaboration, medical testing laboratories undergo assessments by BNQ. Upon receipt of BNQ's evaluation and based on their findings, medical testing laboratories are accredited by SCC. 

We are signatories to the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) for this program programs. This means that testing by SCC-accredited medical laboratories is widely accepted internationally. Additionally, to uphold our signatory status, we undergo peer evaluations by the Asia Pacific Accreditation Cooperation (APAC), further enhancing trust.

This SCC accreditation signals that an organization is qualified, ensuring that standards are applied correctly and consistently. We create a foundation of trust by ‘checking the checkers’ and making sure laboratories meet the requirements of national and international standards.
