The Indiana Crop Improvement Association (ICIA) is now considered a Non GMO Project approved laboratory.
The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing protocol used by ICIA meets the standard requirements of the Non GMO Project for all crop species, including corn and soybeans. ICIA received their ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 accreditation in October of 2014, which is a requirement of the Non GMO Project Standard.
“Completing the laboratory approval process with the Non GMO Project will allow us to continue to provide superior PCR testing services to our current customers who wish to conform to the project standards,” says Emily Dierking, ICIA Genetics Program director.
Alan Galbreth, ICIA chief executive officer adds, “Additionally, our testing services may now appeal to a new sector of the market.”
ICIA is an ISO 9001: 2008 and ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 accredited laboratory. ICIA can be found on the Non GMO Project Accredited Labs list at nongmoproject.org/product-verification/about-gmo-testing/accredited-labs-and-resources/.
