Accreditation is the whole point.
A certificate is only worth what stands behind it. Here is exactly what Fairmetric is built to, and where we are on the way.
The international standards behind our work.
Accreditation is granted by a national accreditation body that assesses the laboratory against these standards. In Kenya, that body is KENAS.
Accreditation in progress
Testing laboratories
General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. This is the accreditation behind our test reports.
Inspection bodies
Competence, impartiality and consistency of bodies performing inspection, for on-site and field compliance work.
Product certification
Requirements for bodies certifying products, processes and services. This is what stands behind the certificate itself.
Information security
How we hold your source code, game data and commercial information under a controlled, audited management system.
What "in progress" means. We are building the laboratory's quality system, methods and records to these standards and will apply to KENAS for assessment. We do not claim accreditation, or display accreditation marks, until it is granted. When it is, every scope and certificate will be published on this page in full.
What we test against.
Accreditation covers how the laboratory works. Technical standards cover what a product must do. We test against the GLI family of standards used by regulators worldwide, together with each jurisdiction's own requirements.

Each regulator's own technical standards
Why a Nairobi certificate travels.
KENAS is a signatory to the ILAC Mutual Recognition Arrangement for testing. Results from a laboratory accredited by a signatory body are recognised by the accreditation systems of the other signatories, which is what lets a report issued in Nairobi be relied on elsewhere. Each regulator still decides which laboratories it recognises, and we will seek that recognition market by market.
Competence
Qualified people and validated methods, assessed against the standard, not asserted.
Impartiality
Independent, unbiased results, with threats to impartiality identified and managed.
Confidentiality
Source code and game data handled under controlled, audited security.
Continuous improvement
Regular internal audits and method reviews, so the lab sharpens over time.
