Accreditations &
Official Recognitions
Tentamus Agriparadigma is an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory ensuring quality, competence, and reliability.
Since 1993, quality has been at the heart of our mission. We adopted a certified quality management system, achieving today around 300 accredited tests under UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC 17025:2018, the reference standard for testing and calibration laboratories.
Since 14 November 2018, our laboratory has been officially accredited as a multi-site organization, consolidating our nationwide presence with accredited operational sites in Emilia-Romagna, Sicily, Tuscany, and Umbria.
What does it mean to be an accredited laboratory?
Accreditation is a guarantee of competence, impartiality, and reliability, issued in Italy by ACCREDIA, the sole national accreditation body. This certification attests compliance with current regulations and is maintained through periodic audits by ACCREDIA.
Thanks to the ILAC Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRA), Agriparadigma’s accredited test reports are recognized and valid worldwide, across all signatory countries.
Correct Use of the ACCREDIA Mark
According to ACCREDIA Regulation RG-09, use of the ACCREDIA mark is restricted and subject to strict rules. Clients cannot place the ACCREDIA logo on products, samples, or commercial documentation, but may attach a copy of the accredited test report. The laboratory is responsible for informing and monitoring correct usage of the mark by clients.
Scientific Excellence & Continuous Improvement
Tentamus Agriparadigma actively participates in national and international ring tests, using certified reference materials when available to ensure reliability of results. We apply globally recognized analytical methods (UNI, ISO, AOAC, EPA, APAT, NIOSH, OSHA, etc.), or validated internal methods when official standards are unavailable.
Our R&D department is constantly engaged in developing new analytical methodologies, tailored to customer needs.
