Laboratory Accreditation
BASES Laboratory Accreditation is a quality assurance process that
provides clients and service purchasers with a means of confirming the
appropriateness of a laboratory to conduct physiological testing. The
Accreditation process uses a written submission from the laboratory
together with a detailed inspection visit to assess the appropriateness
of the laboratory’s facilities, equipment, procedures and staffing. To
become Accredited, a laboratory must be under the Directorship of a
suitable Accredited Sport and Exercise Scientist, the facilities must
meet the standards established for lab accreditation, equipment and
techniques must be used with due regard for calibration, validity and
reliability, exercise testing and other measurements must be conducted
in accordance with appropriate protocols and adhere to safety
considerations, data must be accurately interpreted and the feedback
provided to clients must be informative and be communicated in such a
way as to be useful to the client.
