A History Of Maintained Accreditation, Not A One-Off Claim
NATA accreditation isn't awarded once and forgotten. It's maintained through periodic surveillance audits. Here's the recent, verifiable record for John Morris Group's pipette calibration laboratory (Site No. 4276, "Pipette Laboratory").
What Is The ILAC MRA Mark?
The ILAC MRA (International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation – Mutual Recognition Arrangement) is a mutual recognition arrangement between accreditation bodies worldwide. The Accredited CAB Combined ILAC MRA Mark combines the ILAC MRA symbol with our local accreditation body's logo (NATA), and its appearance on a calibration report signals that the report meets internationally accepted standards.
John Morris Group holds NATA accreditation under ISO/IEC 17025 (Accreditation No. 4283). NATA's approval letter confirms we may apply the mark to our endorsed pipette calibration reports, facilitating global acceptance of our calibration data.
