Covalent expands ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation to 60 methods

Covalent, headquartered in Sunnyvale, California, expanded its ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation to sixty analytical and metrology services, a change the company said reinforced its support for Research, Development, and Engineering teams across advanced technology industries.

The expanded accreditation reflected sustained investment in technical infrastructure, method development, and quality systems, and the company said customers relied on accredited data to support faster development cycles, regulatory confidence, and reliable transitions from innovation to commercialization.

Covalent's Sunnyvale headquarters serves as a center for advanced materials analysis, housing a 30,000-square-foot laboratory and more than 90 professionals, including over 30 Ph.D.-level and advanced-degree scientists and engineers, and offering sixty ISO/IEC 17025-accredited analytical and metrology services that provide traceability and measurement confidence.

The accreditation expansion was enabled by the company’s technical expertise, which the release described as operating as a seamless extension of customers' RD&E teams, and the company said its portfolio delivered actionable insights across more than 30 industries with strength in Semiconductor, Consumer Electronics, Aerospace, Photonics, Battery, and Biotech and MedTech markets.

“Expanding our ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation scope to sixty methods is a significant milestone for Covalent,” said Craig Hunter, CEO of Covalent.

The company said the expanded portfolio is positioned to support customers with rapid method development, cloud-connected data workflows, and accredited measurement science that reduces risk and supports transitions from RD&E through commercialization.
