Chemical testing laboratories as well as microbiological laboratories for the analysis of food, water, cosmetics and other products must be accredited. The difference between accreditation and certification lies in the specific requirements of the technical competence of the staff and the control of the laboratory's ability to meet the requirements of the analysis methods.
