Multisite laboratories
The institutional tasks of the IRVO Laboratories are the analysis of wines, musts, grapes and oils and related certification. This activity was carried out continuously throughout the life of the organization with a continuous improvement of the techno-instrumental equipment and methodologies.
The IRVO laboratories are accredited in accordance with the ISOIEC17025 standard and are recognized by the MIPAAF for the certification of wines with Designation of Origin (DO), Geographical Indication (PGI) and oils with Geographical Indication (PGI Sicily) and Valdemone PDO.
Accreditation ensures that certification, inspection and verification bodies, and testing and calibration laboratories, have all the requirements required by the standards to carry out conformity assessment activities.
Accreditation is the attestation, by a body that acts as a super partes guarantor, of the competence and impartiality of the certification, inspection, verification and validation bodies, and of the testing and calibration laboratories.
In Italy the single accreditation body designated by the government is ACCREDIA.
