What is ISO 17025?

When it comes to food and herbal product testing, not all labs are created equal. Whether you're preparing a nutrition label, launching a herbal supplement, or exporting your product overseas — one factor can make all the difference: ISO 17025 accreditation.

But what exactly is ISO 17025, and why should it matter to you?

Let’s break it down.

Why It Matters to You (As a Business or Brand Owner)

Choosing an ISO 17025-accredited lab like Herbal Food Assay Services (HFAS) gives you several important advantages:

1. Trusted by Authorities

Our results are recognized by local authorities like KKM (Ministry of Health Malaysia) and accepted by most international regulatory bodies — making compliance smoother and faster.

2. Consistency and Accuracy

With certified quality control systems, you get repeatable and reliable results every time, reducing the risk of mislabeling or failed inspections.

3. Export Confidence

ISO 17025 is often required for export-related certifications. Using an accredited lab can be the difference between market entry success and costly delays.

Final Thoughts

In today’s health-conscious, regulation-driven market, product testing isn’t optional — it's essential. And choosing the right lab is just as important as choosing the right ingredients.

ISO 17025 accreditation gives you peace of mind, regulatory trust, and professional credibility.
