New collaboration strengthens laboratory quality systems, testing accuracy, and international compliance for lithium-ion battery safety and performance testing
LICO, a dedicated lithium-ion battery testing laboratory, has officially partnered with Global Quality Services (GQS) to receive end-to-end support for ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, an internationally recognized benchmark for testing and calibration laboratories.
This collaboration represents a strategic move by LICO to enhance laboratory competence, strengthen test result reliability, and align internal systems with globally accepted quality and compliance frameworks. Under this engagement, GQS will guide LICO through every phase of the accreditation journey, including system evaluation, documentation development, technical validation, internal audits, and final accreditation preparedness.
Why ISO/IEC 17025 Matters for Lithium-Ion Battery Testing
ISO/IEC 17025 is the globally accepted standard for laboratory competence, covering both technical operations and quality management requirements. For lithium-ion battery testing laboratories, accreditation is especially critical due to the high-risk nature of battery technologies and their applications.
Accredited laboratories must demonstrate:
- Validated and documented test methods
- Traceable calibration of testing equipment
- Competent and qualified technical personnel
- Controlled environmental conditions
- Impartiality and confidentiality safeguards
- Consistent, repeatable, and defensible test results
LICO’s Commitment to Quality and Compliance
LICO operates as a specialized laboratory providing lithium-ion battery testing services focused on performance, safety, and reliability. As battery technologies evolve and regulatory expectations continue to rise, laboratories must continuously strengthen their systems, competencies, and governance structures.
By initiating the ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation process, LICO is reinforcing its long-term commitment to technical excellence, quality assurance, and continuous improvement. “This collaboration reflects our strategic focus on strengthening laboratory governance and technical reliability,” said a LICO representative.
Global Quality Services: Simplifying Accreditation for Growing Industries
Global Quality Services (GQS) provides accreditation, certification, and compliance support services to organizations operating in regulated and high-risk industries, including laboratories, manufacturing, energy, healthcare, and technology sectors.
GQS supports international standards such as:
- ISO/IEC 17025 – Testing and Calibration Laboratories
- ISO 9001 – Quality Management Systems
- ISO 14001 – Environmental Management Systems
- ISO 45001 – Occupational Health and Safety
- ISO 27001 – Information Security Management
The firm’s laboratory accreditation services emphasize practical implementation, risk-based system design, and audit-ready documentation—helping organizations achieve sustainable compliance rather than checklist-based certification.
Meeting Growing Regulatory and Market Expectations
With lithium-ion battery applications expanding rapidly across electric vehicles, grid storage, and advanced electronics, regulators and customers increasingly demand independent, accredited testing.
ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation enables laboratories to:
- Improve international acceptance of test reports
- Minimize repeat testing and audit duplication
- Support global certification and regulatory approvals
- Strengthen internal risk management and controls
- Enhance trust with customers and authorities
The collaboration between LICO and GQS reflects these industry trends, positioning the laboratory to meet evolving regulatory and market expectations in Indonesia and beyond.
