Camfil has confirmed that its laboratory in Shanghai has been accredited by the China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNAS) in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025, the international benchmark for testing and calibration laboratories.
The accreditation verifies that testing at the facility is conducted using approved methodologies, calibrated equipment and controlled processes aligned with internationally recognised standards.
It also ensures that test results are independently validated, with measurement uncertainty assessed to support reliable product evaluation and compliance.
As a result, data generated by the laboratory can now be accepted globally without the need for additional testing, supporting both regulatory compliance and cross-border collaboration.
The China facility becomes the third within Camfil’s global laboratory network to achieve ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, following sites in Trosa, Sweden and Ipoh, Malaysia.
The milestone reflects ongoing investment in laboratory capability across the region and alignment with evolving international standards.
In terms of capability, the laboratory supports both product development and customer-specific testing, enabling evaluation of materials and finished products against defined performance and quality requirements.
The site also plays a role in cleanroom compliance, supporting HEPA leak testing in line with China’s GB 50591 cleanroom standard.
This includes validated procedures for verifying filter performance, alongside on-site environmental testing services to assess conditions directly within customer facilities.
Camfil stated that the accreditation strengthens confidence in the consistency and reliability of its testing services, ensuring that results are generated through controlled methods and transparent reporting aligned with ISO/IEC 17025 requirements.
