Laboratory and Test House Fees

Test and Calibration Laboratory Authorization Expenses

SDAB follows a policy of reasonable moderation in its fee structure for test and calibration research centers. The objective is to recover the costs of certification activities based on either the turnover of the organization or the number of tests conducted during each accreditation cycle.

Accordingly, charges are based on two main areas:

1. Initial Certification – Fees associated with processing and assessing an application.
2. Continuous Licence – Fees determined by the level of activity related to gross turnover or testing volume.

Please note that several factors influence the cost of evaluating research centers. The information below is provided as general guidance only. Applicants are encouraged to contact SDAB to obtain additional details and a precise quotation.
