Quality records for ISO IEC 17025 accreditation, GLP documentation, and calibration review at ARE Labs
ARE Labs

Quality documentation connects ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, GLP documentation options, and calibration records to the scope of a study.

Quality

ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditation & Quality Documentation

ARE Labs maintains ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation for its current testing scope and operates documented quality practices: protocols, instrument records, calibration traceability, chain-of-custody practices where applicable, and reviewable study records.

ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation with documented study controls

ARE Labs maintains ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation for its current scope of testing and operates documented quality practices aligned with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) where a protocol calls for them. In practice, that means documented protocols, instrument records, calibration traceability, chain-of-custody where applicable, deviation handling, and reviewable study records sit behind the work.

Studies are run to applicable ISO, USP, ASHRAE, and AHAM methods when the protocol calls for them, with the method referenced by name in the study record. Accredited status applies to the activities listed in the current scope; other standard references are documented as method alignment, custom protocol work, or study context.

Documentation controls

Controls that can be described conservatively

No.ControlWhat it supportsPublic boundary
01Standard operating procedures (SOPs)Define how recurring tasks, instruments, and study steps are performed and recorded.SOPs support repeatable practice and the accredited quality system; they do not make every custom study externally accredited.
02Documented protocolsDefine study scope, setup, measurements, controls, and reportable outputs.Claims are tied to the documented protocol and agreed study scope.
03Instrument recordsConnect reported measurements to named instruments and study conditions.Measurement statements stay tied to the instruments and conditions used in the study.
04Calibration traceabilitySupports confidence in instruments and measurement records.Traceability statements are tied to available calibration and instrument records.
05Chain-of-custodyTracks sample handling and identity through the study where applicable.Applied where sample handling and identity matter to the study question.
06Deviations and technical reviewSupport raw-data review, deviation handling, and reporting discipline within the study.Voluntary GLP-aligned documentation is used where scope and protocol require it; it does not represent blanket GLP status.
Standards alignment

Method standards referenced by name

Studies are run to applicable methods where the protocol calls for them, with the standard referenced by name in the study record. Standards alignment describes method context and does not by itself imply that every named standard is inside the accredited scope or that a product has been certified by an external body.

Good Laboratory Practice

Voluntary GLP-aligned documentation

Where a study calls for it, ARE Labs applies voluntary GLP-aligned documentation practices: protocol control, raw-data capture and review, instrument and calibration records, deviation handling, and a reviewable study record from setup through report.

This is a documentation posture chosen to make study records clear and defensible. It supports internal decisions, product development, and regulatory discussions when the protocol is appropriate; it is not a claim of GLP certification or a blanket compliance status.
