Houston’s WH Labs, a leader in Welding, NDT, and Metallurgical Testing, is proud to announce that it has officially received the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation for its testing and calibration laboratories. This globally recognized standard confirms that the laboratory operates a high-quality management system and possesses the technical competence to produce consistently valid results in the field of Chemical and Mechanical Testing.

The ISO/IEC 17025:2017 is the international reference for testing and calibration laboratories wanting to demonstrate their capacity to deliver reliable results. Unlike simpler certifications, this accreditation requires a rigorous peer-review process and a deep dive into technical requirements, including:
- Technical competence of staff
- Validity and appropriateness of test methods
- Traceability of measurements to national standards
- Suitability and maintenance of test equipment

"Achieving this accreditation is a testament to our team’s dedication to precision and integrity," said Ryan Talbert, CEO at WH Labs. "For our clients, this means they can have absolute confidence in the accuracy and reliability of our data, which is critical in today’s highly regulated global market."

With this accreditation, WH Labs joins an elite group of laboratories worldwide. It reinforces the company’s commitment to continuous improvement and its mission to provide the highest level of testing services to its partners in Oil & Gas, Aerospace, Petrochemicals, Marine & Offshore, Pharmaceuticals, Manufacturing, and more.
