Having received accreditation, Kyrgyz laboratories are now entitled to use the ILAC emblem (International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation). This international organization unites over 43,000 laboratories from 70 countries. The results of analyses conducted in cities such as Osh, Batken, and Jalal-Abad now hold legal validity on the international stage.

Accreditation confirms that the research methods, equipment used, and professional training of staff meet the strictest international standards.
The ministry noted that environmental measurements in Kyrgyzstan are now conducted according to the same criteria as in Europe and Japan. This allows the agency to act as an independent expert in matters of cross-border cooperation and large industrial projects.
Achieving ISO 17025 standards in regional laboratories has been a response to societal demands for quality and transparent environmental monitoring. Currently, environmental control in the southern regions of the country represents a high-tech expertise recognized at the international level.

ILAC is an international structure that has developed a system of mutual recognition of laboratory testing results. This means that data obtained in accredited laboratories in Kyrgyzstan will be recognized by other participating countries without the need for repeated checks. This makes the measurement results from the republic indisputable in international disputes and simplifies cross-border cooperation.
