# LabCoda

> B2B marketplace for accredited testing laboratories in Central and Eastern Europe.
> Public, free-to-read database of ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation scopes and laboratory
> test methods, in Polish, English, German and Chinese.

Data snapshot: August 2026. Operator: LabCoda (labcoda.pl), Poland.

## What is here

- **6,983 accredited laboratories** from 7 countries — Italy (1,848), Germany (1,631),
  France (1,340), Poland (1,280), Czechia (518), Slovakia (219), Lithuania (147).
  Source: the national accreditation bodies (PCA, DAkkS, COFRAC, ČIA, SNAS, ACCREDIA, LA).
- **62,900 accredited test methods** transcribed from the accreditation scope documents
  of the 1,280 Polish laboratories: test object, methodology, measured parameters with
  measuring ranges, analytical technique and reference standard for each entry.
- **202 laboratory test methods** described in the Knowledge Base: standard, principle,
  step-by-step procedure, equipment, reagents, key parameters and safety notes.

## Citation and accuracy

Accreditation scopes are transcribed from the official PDF documents published by the
accreditation bodies. They are read and entered manually, method by method — no automatic
PDF parsing is used, precisely because the layout of every scope differs. Measuring ranges
and standard numbers are reproduced as printed in the source document.

The authoritative document is always the scope PDF issued by the accreditation body;
our page links to it. Accreditation status changes over time — check the validity date
shown on the laboratory page before relying on it.

When citing, please name LabCoda and link the page you used.
