Laboratory accreditation is a third-party certification that CNAS has the ability to perform specific testing and calibration work for testing and calibration laboratories.

Since CNAS has joined the Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation Organization (APLAC) and the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation Organization (ILAC), the testing data of CNAS accredited laboratories will be mutually recognized by the Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation Organization (APLAC-MRA) ) Recognition of member states (regions) of the Mutual Recognition Agreement (ILAC-MRA) with the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation Organization.

According to Article 32 of the "Implementation Rules of the People's Republic of China on Measurement Law", "Product quality testing agencies that provide notarized data to the society must be measured and certified by the metrological administrative department of the people's government at or above the provincial level." Testing laboratory, the verification/testing report issued by it has no legal effect and cannot be used for legal arbitration. It is the basis for product/engineering acceptance and can only be used as internal data. If a laboratory wants to go to the international market, it wants to undertake the inspection business of imported and exported goods, and the data and results it wants to be issued are recognized in a wider range and level, and it needs to be approved by the laboratory.
