Esco Wins SAC-SINGLAS Accreditation for Lab Calibration

Esco Lifesciences Group has been awarded SAC-SINGLAS ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation for its Service Business Unit’s calibration of thermostatic products and cold storage equipment. Announced on 15 September 2026 from Singapore under Certificate No. LA-2026-0912-C, the accreditation formally validates Esco’s calibration engineers and results, positioning the company’s after-sales service franchise more competitively across the life sciences, pharmaceutical and healthcare laboratory equipment maintenance market.

SAC-SINGLAS accreditation certifies compliance with the international ISO/IEC 17025 standard for testing and calibration laboratories, covering both the technical competence of Esco’s calibration engineers and the validity of the calibration results they produce. The accreditation extends internationally recognised traceability to every calibration certificate issued by Esco’s Service business for thermostatic and cold storage systems, equipment that underpins temperature-critical workflows across the life sciences, pharmaceutical and healthcare industries where precise temperature control is essential for sample integrity, reagent stability and regulatory compliance. Kenny Chee, Global Technical Support Manager at Esco Lifesciences Group, framed the accreditation as reflecting years of investment in Esco’s engineering capability and measurement processes.

The accreditation strengthens Esco’s positioning as an audit-ready after-sales partner for pharmaceutical, biotech and healthcare customers operating under stringent regulatory frameworks including GxP standards. Independently audited calibration certificates directly support customer regulatory compliance, particularly for temperature-sensitive operations across pharmaceutical manufacturing, biotech R&D, cell and gene therapy workflows and biobank operations. The accreditation places Esco in stronger competitive tension with global laboratory equipment leaders including Thermo Fisher Scientific, PHC Group, Eppendorf, Panasonic and Haier Biomedical across the growing Asian laboratory equipment services market.

The commercial signal is a maturing laboratory equipment services market where independent calibration accreditation is emerging as a competitive requirement for after-sales partners. Regulatory compliance dynamics directly benefit accredited service providers. Expect Thermo Fisher Scientific, PHC Group, Eppendorf, Panasonic, Haier Biomedical and other regional service specialists to sharpen their calibration accreditation and after-sales positioning through the rest of 2026 and 2027.
