Since our founding in 1984, AET's Environmental Science Laboratory has set the benchmark for our quality control and quality assurance commitment to our clients to provide the highest quality professional environmental consulting services. American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) accreditation is the crown achievement of this benchmark and accreditation was received in 1986. AIHA accreditation mandates an independent peer review of our laboratories personnel, equipment, procedures and policies. In addition, quarterly proficiency testing rounds must be passed each year to demonstrate our laboratory's continued result accuracy.

THIS IS NOT A 1-SHOT DEAL! Re-accreditation must be proven every 3 years by an on-site peer inspection of our facilities, personnel, and quality control/quality assurance procedures as detailed in our written laboratory quality assurance manual. Since 1986, AET's laboratory has been re-accredited on 7 consecutive separate occasions (1989, 1992, 1995, 1998, 2001, 2004, 2007).

"This laboratory is accredited in accordance with the recognized International Standard ISO/IEC 17025:2005.  This accreditation demonstrates technical competence for a dfined scope and the operation of a laboratory quality management system (refer joint ISO-ILAC-IAF Communique dated January 2009".
