If your product requires GMO testing, the laboratory you will choose must have in-depth experience in GMO testing, as well as have the necessary technological equipment and accreditations.
Customer service specialists in a more experienced lab will be able to offer guidance in choosing a cost-effective GMO testing plan to meet your goals, helping you avoid costly missteps. They can also discuss relevant regulatory issues that may affect your business transactions and help you understand your test results in light of your goals.
The first step in choosing the right GMO lab is to choose a lab with experience. For greatest success, you should work with a lab with at least 10 years of experience in GMO testing.
There is no one GMO test structure that fits every manufacturer and every product. Instead, you need to choose the right test or set of tests to meet your goals. Many different types of GMOs can be found in the food chain at the seed, ingredient, and finished product level, and requirements vary according to what testing may be required.
Some laboratories may offer GMO tests, but may not have the necessary experience or accreditation for every GMO test or for specific tests.
Customer service experts at an experienced testing lab can help you identify the specific GMO tests you need. You should always contact the laboratory for assistance in choosing a specific GMO testing plan that will meet your requirements.
ISO 17020 is the international standard for laboratory accreditation. Specifies proficiency requirements in testing and calibration for laboratories worldwide. The industry's undisputed measure of excellence, ISO 17020 helps ensure legal defensibility, reliability and respect.
Ask the laboratory if it is accredited according to ISO 17020 for GMO testing. The presence of the ISO 17020 accreditation seal on the analysis report confirms that the laboratory is accredited for the specific tests used.
