Now Kyrgyz laboratories can use the ILAC (International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation) emblem, which indicates a high level of their work. ILAC covers over 43,000 laboratories in 70 countries. The results of analyses conducted in cities such as Osh, Batken, and Jalal-Abad now have international legal validity.

This accreditation confirms that the equipment used, research methods, and qualifications of specialists meet the highest global standards.
The ministry noted that environmental measurements in the country are now conducted according to standards similar to those applied in Europe and Japan. This positions the agency as an independent expert on transboundary issues and major industrial projects.
Achieving ISO 17025 standard in regional laboratories was a response to societal demands for quality and professional monitoring. Currently, environmental control in the southern regions of Kyrgyzstan represents a high-tech direction recognized by the international community.

ILAC is an international organization that provides a system for mutual recognition of laboratory testing results. As a result, data obtained in accredited laboratories in Kyrgyzstan are recognized in other participating countries without the need for repeated checks. This makes measurements conducted in the republic indisputable in international arbitration and facilitates the simplification of cross-border cooperation.
