AABB Accredited Relationship Testing Facility Guidelines
AABB is an international organization that accredits
relationship testing facilities. U.S. Immigration officials require
that all DNA testing performed for immigration purposes must be
completed by an AABB laboratory.
AABB accreditation program promotes the highest standard of care
for all patients of DNA testing. The AABB has strict policies and
guidelines, which must be followed by accredited laboratories. AABB
labs go through periodic assessments to make sure guidelines are
followed. It is important that you choose a DNA company whose
laboratory is accredited by AABB. This will make certain that your
test results are accurate.
