EVIO Labs in Massachusettes Accredited by A2LA
The multi-state cannabis company EVIO labs Massachusetts branch, DBA Viridis Analytics, has received ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation from the independent, non-profit accreditation company A2LA–American Association of Laboratory Accreditation. It is the first cannabis testing laboratory in the state to receive ISO/IEC accreditation.
With few testing standards in the cannabis industry, it is important to use a lab that has achieved a certain level of professional and scientific standards that only proper accreditation can demonstrate. It requires a level of expertise and standards that are not easy to achieve and shows the business is operating at a high level of competence. EVIO labs operates in multiple U.S. states and Canada and is publicly traded on the OTC market under EVIO.
