Having sight at the national accreditation system, we see that one of the important service areas is the laboratory sector. In this sector; test, analysis and calibration laboratories are existing. Measurement reliability, traceability of the measurements carried out by the laboratory and homogeneity of measurement studies should be ensured by means of a measurement infrastructure that ensures the accuracy of the studies carried out by the aforementioned laboratories. From this point of view, the basic document used by TURKAK for the accreditation of calibration laboratories is the international standard TS EN ISO / IEC 17025.
In our country, the accreditation of laboratories is voluntary based, and a calibration laboratory becomes ready for accreditation by ensuring compliance with the TS EN ISO / IEC 17025 standard. However, in addition to this standard, it is also possible to use documents containing additional criteria related to the accreditation scope of the laboratories.
TS EN ISO / IEC 17025 Standard sets out the general principles, general approaches, policies and measures to be taken in terms of technical competence. For specific applications, additional criteria have been prepared by the European Accreditation Association (EA) individually according to the fields of accreditation of the laboratories.
Guidance documents have been prepared by EA on how to apply the documents containing the standard and additional criteria created by EA to the bodies of laboratories and presented to the use of the parties. It is strongly recommended that parties interested in laboratory accreditation make use of them during the preparation process for accreditation.

Organizations serving in the public, university or private sector that are fully responsible for planning and managing the reference material production project are called Reference Material Producers. This responsibilities include determining and assigning property values and uncertainties for the reference materials it produces, issuing a reference material certificate.
In Turkey; the accreditation of reference material producers is on a voluntary basis and the accreditation activities are carried out by the Turkish Accreditation Agency (TÜRKAK). Accreditation services are provided to ensure that the produced reference materials are produced according to technically valid and internationally accepted criteria and to show that the manufacturer is authorized and competent in producing reference materials. The accreditation of referencematerial producers is granted according to the TS EN ISO 17034 " General requirements for the competence of reference material producers " standard.
TS EN ISO 17034 Standard sets out the general principles, general approaches, policies and measures to be taken in terms of technical competence for the reference material producers. Reference material producers who want to be accredited must have a established and operated quality system to meet the requirements of this standard. However, in addition to the standard, the reference material producers must also fulfill the requirements of the legal regulations, mandatory documents, the relevant documents prepared by the International Laboratory Accreditation Association (ILAC), European Accreditation Association (EA) and TÜRKAK.

Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) is a quality assurance system that includes the conditions and management procedures for planning, monitoring, recording, archiving and reporting of health and environmental research other than clinical research.
Non-clinical health and environmental safety studies within the scope of ILU principles can be performed under laboratory conditions, greenhouses and on the site. TÜRKAK’s GLP program covers all test and chemical groups. By testing these substances, data regarding the safety of these substances for human health and / or the environment is able to obtain.
As stated in the 632 numbered article of the Presidential Decree number 4 and the Regulation on Good Laboratory Practices Principles, Harmonization of Test Units, Good Laboratory Practices and Inspection of Studies published in the official gazette no 27516 dated 9 March 2010, TURKAK is the only institution that has legal responsibility as a national monitoring authority. TÜRKAK is a member of the Mutual Acceptance of Data System established by OECD.
Test facilities that are willing to be in the Good Laboratory Practices Conformity Monitoring Program are assessed according to OECD Good Laboratory Practices and Compliance Monitoring Principles, Good Laboratory Practices Principles, Harmonization of Test Units, Regulation on Good Laboratory Practices and Inspection of Studies and TURKAK Procedures and then the GLP Declaration of Conformity is given to the appropriate test facilities.
