IAS
International Accreditation Service
Lab# TL-228
Specialized Testing, Inc.’s ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation is assessed by IAS and IAS assesses Specialized Testing, Inc.’s ISO/IEC 17025: 2017 Accreditation every two years.
International Accreditation Service (IAS) is an independent accreditation body that provides third-party evaluation of conformity assessment bodies, including testing and calibration laboratories, certification bodies, and inspection agencies, to ensure that they meet internationally recognized standards of quality and competence. Accreditation by IAS indicates that the organization has demonstrated technical competence, impartiality, and adherence to recognized international standards in performing its activities. This provides confidence to customers, regulatory bodies, and other stakeholders that the services provided by the accredited organization are reliable, accurate, and meet the highest standards of quality.
IAS is a signatory to several international accreditation agreements, including the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) and the Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (APLAC), which means that its accredited organizations are recognized internationally. In summary, an International Accreditation Service provides an independent evaluation and accreditation of conformity assessment bodies to ensure that they meet internationally recognized standards of quality and competence, providing assurance to customers and stakeholders that the services provided by the accredited organization meet the highest standards of quality.

OSHPD
Lab# OPAA-0083
Office of Statewide Hospital Planning and Development
The OSHPD Preapproved Agency (OPAA) is a program for Structural Tests and Special Inspections agencies providing services to California′s Health Facilities Construction. OPAA is issued on the basis of the Agency′s accreditation or DSA-LEA approval in accordance with PIN 58.
The Office of Statewide Hospital Planning and Development (OSHPD) approved lab refers to a laboratory that has been authorized and certified by the OSHPD, which is a government agency responsible for overseeing the planning, construction, and operation of healthcare facilities in California.
To obtain OSHPD approval, a laboratory must meet certain requirements and standards set by the agency, including building and safety codes, licensing and certification, and quality assurance measures. Once approved, the lab is recognized as meeting the necessary standards for providing high-quality laboratory services in the state of California.
OSHPD-approved labs are typically required for hospitals and other healthcare facilities that offer laboratory services to their patients. This certification helps to ensure that patients receive accurate and reliable test results from a laboratory that meets rigorous standards for safety, quality, and performance.
CCRL
Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory Proficiency Testing Program
Specialized Testing participates in CCRL’s Proficiency Testing Program. The Cement and Concrete Reference Laboratory (CCRL) Proficiency Testing Program is a program specifically designed to assess the performance of laboratories that test construction materials such as concrete and rebar. The CCRL program provides blind samples of concrete and rebar to participating laboratories, and the laboratories test these materials using their standard procedures and methods.
For concrete, the CCRL program tests for various properties, including compressive strength, air content, and slump. For rebar, the program tests for mechanical properties such as tensile strength, elongation, and yield strength.
After testing, the participating laboratories submit their results to the CCRL program, which then evaluates the laboratory’s performance based on the degree of agreement between their results and the reference values. The CCRL program provides feedback and guidance to the laboratories to help them improve their testing procedures and ensure that their results are accurate and reliable.
Participation in the CCRL Proficiency Testing Program is often required for accreditation or certification of testing laboratories, and it is also used by industry organizations and government agencies to ensure that construction materials meet the required standards and specifications.
