On January 13th, 2012 PV Evolution Labs (PVEL, Berkeley, California, U.S.) announced that it has achieved ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accreditation for its solar photovoltaic (PV) module testing and calibration services.

PVEL describes ISO 17025 accreditation as an important global standard for laboratories which provides a benchmark for approving technical and quality system competence, with a focus on continual process improvement.

"PVEL is committed to rigorous technical standards to help support solar’s technical advancement and movement into the mainstream," said PVEL Co-Founder and CEO Jenya Meydbray.

"The recognition associated with accreditation fosters PVEL’s mission and, in turn, the solar industry."

Accreditation recognized by international bodies

PVEL sought ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation through the American Association of Laboratory Accreditation.

This accreditation is recognized by the 107 signatories of the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation and Asia-Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation, which the company says extends its credibility beyond the U.S. PV market.
