ANAB, A2LA, CAP and ISO 17025 accreditation — in one register that never lets one lapse
The scope, renewals, and audit calendar for A2LA, ANAB, ISO 17025, CAP, and state programs in one place — so nothing slips past a date, and you can produce your scope the moment an assessor asks.
What does holding ANAB, CAP or A2LA accreditation take — and how does LabMODO help?
A2LA accreditation is granted by the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation, which assesses your lab against ISO/IEC 17025 on a cycle of initial, surveillance, and reassessment. LabMODO holds it — and every other accreditation you carry — in one register: scope, renewal dates, audit calendar, and the evidence behind each. Nothing lapses, and your scope is always provable.
ISO 17025 accreditation isn't one date — it's a cycle that never stops
Most labs hold more than one accreditation, and each has its own scope, its own renewal, and its own assessor on its own calendar. All of it usually lives in a drawer of certificates and a spreadsheet.
“I get cited every time for missing policies.”
“The auditor asked for a record from 90 days ago.”
A reaccreditation date slips past because it sat in one person’s calendar. An assessor asks you to produce your scope — exactly what your ISO 17025 accreditation covers — and it’s a hunt. Add a second body or a second site and the spreadsheet collapses: nobody can say, across the whole lab, what’s accredited, what’s current, and what’s due.
How LabMODO manages your ANAB and CAP accreditation — and every other standard
Every accreditation you hold, with the scope and the dates that keep it alive.
01
Every accreditation in one register.
A2LA accreditation, ANAB, ISO 17025, CAP, and state programs — each held with its certificate, scope, and status, so there’s one place that answers “what are we accredited to, and is it current?”
02
Scope you can produce on demand.
What each body accredits you to do — the methods and tests in scope — linked to the documents, people, and equipment behind them. A scope you can show, not one you maintain by hand.
03
Renewals and the audit calendar, tracked.
Reaccreditation and assessment dates for every body surface before they’re due and roll up to Mission Control — so a renewal never lapses because nobody checked the calendar.
04
The evidence behind each scope.
Each accreditation ties to the internal audits, PTs, training, and calibrations that prove it — so producing your scope means producing the evidence with it, not just the certificate.
05
Multi-site, multi-body, one view.
Several accreditations across several sites sit in one register instead of one spreadsheet per location — exactly where manual systems break.
From A2LA to ANAB accreditation, the same three things
Scope.
Exactly what each body accredits you to do, linked to the methods and people behind it — whether it’s your A2LA or ANAB accreditation scope.
Renewals & audit calendar.
Every reaccreditation and assessment date, surfaced before it’s due.
Evidence.
The internal audits, PTs, training, and records that prove each scope — attached, not reconstructed.
What lives here:
Your standards & accreditations — scope, renewals, and the audit calendar, across every body you hold. The internal audits that prove them run next door in Internal audits & audit readiness; this is the register of what you’re accredited to and when it’s due.
What changes when A2LA, ANAB, ISO 17025, and CAP accreditation live in one place
Nothing lapses.
Renewals and assessments surface in time, every body, every site — a reaccreditation never slips past a calendar nobody checked.
Your scope is always provable.
When an assessor asks what you’re accredited to do, you show it — scope plus the evidence — instead of hunting.
Multi-accreditation stops being chaos.
Holding CAP accreditation alongside A2LA, across two sites and two renewal cycles, lives in one register instead of collapsing a spreadsheet.
Audit-ready across every standard.
Readiness isn’t per-audit cramming — it’s a status you hold continuously, for whatever you’re accredited to.
The record of what you're held to
Standards & accreditations is what the Compliance pillar is measured against — the “your standards” in checked-against-your-standards, in the LabMODO Quality Loop: rules → able people → daily work → checked against your standards. The internal audit checks the lab against what’s in this register; findings flow back to update the rules; the loop closes. It’s the register that defines what “compliant” even means for your lab.
Everything documented, right where you need it
“Especially when we have external audits, it’s all right there. It’s all documented. I don’t have the risk of not finding it.”
— Kasey Hoffman, Lab Director, Aqua Water Supply Corporation
Twenty minutes about your lab — and what to fix first
Bring every accreditation you hold and how you track them today — the certificates, the renewal dates, the scope. We'll look at what's closest to lapsing and what an assessor would struggle to find. You get a plan either way.
FAQ
Questions labs actually ask
If yours isn’t here, ask it on the demo.
Is LabMODO A2LA accredited?
Is LabMODO A2LA accredited?
No — and no software can be. A2LA accreditation is granted to labs, not tools: A2LA, ANAB, and PJLA assess laboratories against ISO 17025, not the software they run on. What LabMODO does is hold your scope, renewals, and evidence so your next A2LA assessment is one you’re always ready for.
Can LabMODO track more than one accreditation at once?
Can LabMODO track more than one accreditation at once?
Yes. A2LA accreditation, ANAB accreditation, ISO 17025, CAP, and state programs each live in the register with their own scope, renewal date, and audit calendar — so a lab holding several bodies, or several sites, sees all of them in one place instead of one spreadsheet each.
Can it handle CAP accreditation alongside ISO 17025?
Can it handle CAP accreditation alongside ISO 17025?
Yes — CAP accreditation, ISO 17025 accreditation, and any other standard you hold sit in the same register, each with its own scope and renewal cycle, so multi-accreditation labs manage everything in one view.
Can we produce our scope during an audit?
Can we produce our scope during an audit?
Yes — your scope for each body is held in the register and linked to the methods, people, and records behind them, so you show it on screen instead of reconstructing it.
Does it work with our LIMS?
Does it work with our LIMS?
Yes — LabMODO works with or without your LIMS. Your LIMS runs samples and results; LabMODO holds the quality side the assessor audits, including your standards and accreditations. Where the LIMS stops, LabMODO starts.
