INCOTEC China obtains ISTA accreditation

After 2 years of intensive preparation the quality laboratory of INCOTEC China has acquired the ISTA accreditation. With this INCOTEC is the first private company in China with an ISTA accredited lab.

JanWillem Breukink, CEO & President INCOTEC Group:“China is a very important market for our company and we are committed to bring the best products and services to the Chinese seed industry. With this ISTA accreditation we want to make sure that our seed testing is very reliable and consistent, important for our customers but at the end also for the Chinese grower. We believe that with this accreditation in combination with our strong product line we have set a new standard in China.”

Jerry Zhang, General Manager INCOTEC China: “After 2.5 years of hard work and preparations, the germination lab of INCOTEC China acquired ISTA Accreditation on July 29th, 2013 with the status of the first private ISTA accredited lab in China. In this long process, with assistance of INCOTEC US and the other INCOTEC locations, our staff worked very hard to build up the quality system. I need to make great compliments to all of them. However, achieving Accreditation is not our final target, we strive for a secure high quality system to serve China Seed Industry in a better way. In this developing market, the seed quality and the awareness of the importance of the seed quality are still insufficient. As the worldwide leader in the seed coating and technology area, INCOTEC is doing the utmost to help enhancing the seed quality in this seed industry, we consider this as our mission. Achieving the ISTA Accreditation, enables INCOTEC China to give a better education to the market offering a high quality level in complying with the worldwide standard. We believe that this market will benefit from our accreditation and will have a brighter prospect in the future.”

Emma Chen, Germination Lab Leader INCOTEC China: “It’s a great honor and encouragement for the Germination Lab of INCOTEC China to get ISTA Accreditation. From now on, we can provide ISTA testing for vegetable and field crops, which includes sampling, purity & determination of other seeds, germination, viability, moisture content determination and weight determination. By reporting these testing results on ISTA Certificates, we are authorized to issue ISTA Orange International Seed Lot Certificates (OIC) and Blue International Seed Sample Certificates (BIC). In the future, our team will be providing accurate and repeatable testing results. We are very happy to serve our customers in a better way.”
