The COLA Accreditation Program for cannabis testing laboratories focuses on assisting Chief Scientists, Compliance Officers and Laboratory Supervisors in operating a technically competent, quality management-focused operation.  By earning accreditation through COLA, cannabis testing laboratories demonstrate conformity to the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standards for testing and calibration laboratories.

COLA has developed a multi-step process to guide you from start to finish. One of the unique benefits of enrolling with COLA is our Accreditation Handbook. It provides your cannabis laboratory with key information you need to get ready for ISO 17025 accreditation all in one place.
