About Us

POLARIS Laboratories, LLC ISO 17025:2005 Accredited and A2LA Approved Lab

Oil Analysis, Fuel Analysis, Coolant Analysis and Fluid Analysis

Quality is a standard that drives POLARIS laboratory operations everyday at every one of our locations. Our ISO 17025 A2LA accreditation is the highest level of quality attainable by a testing laboratory — a level we believe customers should not only expect, but demand.

And a laboratory's claim to ISO 17025 certification shouldn't be taken at face value — ours included. Click on the links below and you'll quickly see that nearly every test we conduct at each of our laboratories is ISO 17025 A2LA accredited.

ISO 17025:2005 A2LA ACCREDITED
POLARIS Laboratories, LLC is ISO 17025:2005 A2LA accredited. The ISO 17025:2005 standard is an evolution of the former ISO Guide 25 and is now the international standard for calibration and testing laboratories. Accredited laboratories must demonstrate that they operate according to a Quality System that covers all processes, documentation and a Quality Management System and that they generate technically valid results taking into account equipment, procedures and personnel.

SELECTING AN ISO 17025 A2LA ACCREDITED LABORATORY MEANS:

  • Acceptable degrees of uncertainty have been established

  • All methods are validated

  • Results are repeatable and reproducible at each laboratory

  • All tests are performed according to written work instructions

  • Technicians must complete documented training on each test they perform

  • Quality control samples are run frequently to ensure that every result is a quality result

  • Proficiency testing is done on a regular basis

  • Equipment is properly maintained and calibrated

A2LA ACCREDITATION
A2LA's accreditation of a laboratory's compliance with ISO 17025:2005 is the highest level of quality attainable by a testing laboratory. Dedicated to formally recognizing competent testing and calibration laboratories, A2LA is the most stringent accrediting body in the industry.

QUALITY POLICY
POLARIS Laboratories, LLC, is committed to providing timely, accurate data to our customers for maintenance and reliability purposes. We do this by ensuring all personnel apply, and continually look to improve, the policies and procedures documented in our Quality Management System that meets or exceeds the requirements of ISO 17025:2005.
