Products & services in the accredited area

The three institutes of the business area Animal Health in Mödling, Linz and Innsbruck as well as the Department of Veterinary Microbiology of the Center for Foodborne Infectious Diseases in Graz at the Institute of Medical Microbiology and Hygiene Graz are accredited as testing laboratories according to EN ISO/IEC 17025 "General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories" by the national accreditation body "Accreditation Austria" of the BMAW

With the accreditation and the quality management implemented by AGES, the veterinary testing laboratories were able to prove that the tasks assigned to them are carried out with a high level of competence and reliability. This is a prerequisite for the provision of services in diagnostics.

Our services are based on the requirements of quality, transparency, traceability and impartiality stated in EN ISO/IEC 17025, in the Accreditation Act and in national and European legal texts. Our Austrian test reports are put on an equal footing with foreign ones by the accreditation within the EU.

Regular contact with customers, annual internal and external reviews (audits), annual assessments of the QMS and standardized mechanisms to combat errors ensure continuous improvement or optimization of testing activities.

The scope of accreditation of the testing laboratories of the individual institutes of the Animal Health Business Unit (AA 0452): Mödling, Linz and Innsbruck as well as the testing laboratory IMED Graz (Public Health Business Unit) can be found under Accredited Testing and Inspection Laboratories of the BMDW / Accreditation Austria.

In addition to accredited services, the sites also offer non-accredited services.

Current offers can be found here.

Forms and information on proper sample shipment can be found here.
