Accreditation of forensic laboratory activities

This procedure establishes standards for the accreditation of forensic laboratories across the EU. It aims to ensure that evidence collected and analyzed by police and judicial authorities meets high quality and reliability standards, which is critical for the fair administration of justice and effective law enforcement.

This affects forensic scientists, police officers, and judicial authorities. It ensures that evidence used in criminal trials, including counter-terrorism cases, is consistent and legally robust across different member states.
