Axalta Coating Systems Laboratory Receives Accreditation
PHILADELPHIA - Axalta Coating Systems announced that its Houston Technical Services Laboratory has received ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation awarded by the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA). Many global OEMs that require product approval will now accept the data generated by Axalta’s Houston laboratory, which will reduce the cycle time for obtaining global product approvals.
A2LA accreditation reflects the capabilities of Axalta’s quality management systems overall and its ability to perform specific activities defined by its A2LA Scope of Accreditation (A2LA Certificate #4024.01). These activities include mechanical testing of coatings to evaluate effects on color, gloss, appearance and overall functionality before and after exposure to corrosive environments.
