In January 2003, HKLife became the first laboratory in China performing qualitative and quantitative genetically modified organism (GMO) testing with real-time PCR technology to be granted accreditation by the Hong Kong Accreditation Service (HKAS) under its Hong Kong Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (HOKLAS).

Recently, HKLife expanded its accreditation scope to include Microbiology analyses and testing, offering a wide variety of microbiological tests to verify the safety of raw and processed foods. Accreditation in both conventional and advanced molecular testing techniques reflects HKLife’s capability and flexible strength to offer clients a unique and wide selection of system solutions for food safety and quality testing.

A HOKLAS accreditation incorporating ISO/IEC 17025:2005(E) covers "General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories", concerning management systems, technical operations, and administration support. A HOKLAS accreditation is equivalent to obtaining ISO17025.

For information regarding the scope and type of tests to which our HOKLAS accreditation applies, please view the HOKLAS website page here.

Food Analysis Performance Assessment Scheme (FAPAS) is recognized as the comprehensive analytical chemistry proficiency testing scheme in the food sector. HKLife has joined the scheme for its animal species identifications that demonstrate the ability of our laboratory testing. The service is capable of identifying nutritional components, food ingredients, natural food contaminants, organic and inorganic contaminants, food additives and allergens, and can also determine the authenticity of food and their components.

Genetically Modified Materials Analysis Scheme (GeMMA) is an independent program established to monitor the quality of GMO testing lab around the world. It is administrated by the Central Science Laboratory (UK) on behalf of the Department of Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA) to provide laboratories around the world of the opportunity to conduct proficiency tests in order to protect the quality of food intended for human consumption and animal feed, which will also ensure their free and safe movement throughout the international market. In March 2001, HKLife was found to be the best among 66 testing laboratories worldwide who submitted themselves to a battery of performance tests.

This is the first GMO proficiency testing program organized by the CNAL (China National Accreditation Board for Laboratories), approved by the Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (APLAC), the organization of all Laboratory Accreditation bodies within the Asia Pacific area. The program aims to rigorously determine the level of accuracy and reliability of each GMO test laboratory.

Participants are required to use its qualitative and quantitative GMO tests, both of which are based on real-time PCR, to assess undisclosed samples for the presence of GMO. HKLife correctly detected the presence of Roundup Ready® Soya in the test samples for both of the qualitative and quantitative assessments. The satisfactory results in this officially approved proficiency-testing program further strengthen the leading status of HKLife's GMO testing in the Greater China region.
