Trust & verification
Verified means verified.
Every credential on LabSource Network carries a label that tells you exactly how it was checked. Paid placement never changes that label.
Our process
How we review providers and credentials
Listing review
Every company is reviewed by our team before it's published. We confirm the business exists, operates the services it lists, and serves the locations it claims.
Credential submission
Providers submit accreditations and certifications with supporting documents, including scope and expiration.
Independent check
We confirm each credential with the issuing organization and record the scope, expiration date and review date.
Ongoing status
Credentials past their expiration date are relabeled as expired until the provider submits a renewal.
Labels you'll see
Four labels. No ambiguity.
Independently verified
Confirmed with the issuing organization, including scope and expiration.
Provider-reported
Claimed by the provider and not yet reviewed. Shown clearly as unverified.
Expired
Previously verified, but past its expiration date.
Sponsored
Paid visibility. Always labeled, and never a substitute for accreditation.
Examples
Credentials providers commonly submit
These are examples of credentials a provider may submit for review. Each is labeled by its review status on the profile.
ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation
Competence of testing and calibration labs. We record the accreditation body and scope.
NSF/ANSI 49 accreditation
Field certification of Class II biosafety cabinets.
ISO 9001 certification
Quality management system certification for the provider's organization.
Technician certifications
Individual training credentials held by field technicians.
Insurance certificates
Coverage types and limits buyers often require for vendor approval.
Manufacturer authorizations
Factory-authorized service status for specific equipment brands.
Important
Always confirm what your project requires.
Requirements differ by facility, regulator and application. A verified credential confirms what the provider holds — not that it satisfies your specific compliance needs. Confirm applicable standards with your quality team.
