Quality is the cornerstone of organizational success, ensuring that our forensic services meet or exceed customer expectations.
ISO accreditations, achieved in various disciplines at EFMA, include ISO/IEC 17020 and ISO/IEC 17025, which play a vital role in upholding quality in specific domains.
ISO/IEC 17020 outlines the requirements for the competence of inspection bodies, ensuring impartiality and consistency in inspection activities, such as those in the Cairo Morgue, Violence Clinic, Histopathology, and Forgery & Counterfeiting.
ISO/IEC 17025 specifies the standards for testing laboratories, emphasizing technical competence and reliable results, as seen in the DNA, Serology, and Toxicology laboratories. These standards foster trust and enhance global trade by promoting uniformity in processes.
EFMA’s accreditation aligns with ILAC standards, which provide additional guidance, particularly for forensic service providers.
Specifically, ILAC P15 and ILAC G19 highlight best practices for quality assurance in forensic investigations, ensuring the validity, reliability, and impartiality of forensic evidence.
Together, these frameworks establish robust systems for maintaining quality and fostering confidence in inspection, testing, and forensic services worldwide.
