According to the German Gene Diagnostic Act it is mandatory for each laboratory that offers genetic testing to have an ISO 17025 accreditation. At Eurofins Medigenomix Forensik we are proud of our continuous successful accreditation and certification.
When you need to choose a DNA lab it should have a good reputation and be reliable. One objective measure for its reliability is the ISO 17025 accreditation. Always ensure that your chosen lab is 17025-accredited. Check whether a DNA testing laboratory provides their latest certificates online for you to view.
In addition to this our lab team was also successfully accredited by the British Ministry of Justice and has passed the proficiency trials by the ISFG (International Society for Forensic Genetics) and the DGAB (German Society for Paternity testing).
The German chamber of commerce has appointed our general manager as a publicly appointed expert witness (PDF, certificate of appointment in German)
This ISO certificate has been granted after an audit of all documentation and processes concerning DNA analyses. With this accreditation we fully apply to the German Gene Diagnostics Act as a German forensic laboratory.

Please note:
The sampling for a DNA test needs to be a witnessed sampling. A physician may, for example, be your sampler and conduct the whole process for you. On our pages we explain where to find a sampler and what exactly needs to be done.
