AI agents for the accredited laboratory
AI agents that reduce repetitive work. The signature stays with the person responsible.

Can artificial intelligence work in an accredited laboratory without putting accreditation at risk? Yes, on one condition: that it is governed. Every action traced, the decision human, the signature with the person responsible.
The LABNEXUS agents are already in use in accredited testing laboratories. They reduce repetitive work, such as checking revisions of standards and updating standard operating procedures (SOPs), and leave verification and signature to the expert.
- In an accredited testing laboratory, LABNEXUS agents cut by 40% the time spent checking new revisions of UNI EN standards and updating standard operating procedures — work every quality manager knows well.
- With AICertus™ technology: every action of the agent is orchestrated and traced.
- Human oversight is part of the method: the agent proposes, the expert decides and signs.
How AI enters an accredited laboratory
You start from a single process, chosen with the quality manager. The agent works on the laboratory’s documents and data, every step stays traced, the expert verifies and signs. When the process holds, you move on to the next one. At the laboratory’s pace, not the technology’s.
The LABNEXUS agents and AICertus™ technology are designed in alignment with ISO/IEC 42001, the EU AI Act and the NIST AI RMF. Signature responsibilities are not touched.

The questions we get asked
AI puts accreditation at risk
Only governed AI enters the laboratory: traced, with a human decision at every step. The assessor sees who did what, when and on what basis. It is the same principle as the quality system, applied to a new working tool.
AI is already running here, without control
It happens in many laboratories: generic tools used to write procedures or interpret standards, without a trace. Banning it makes it invisible. Governing it makes it verifiable.
It costs too much, it is too complex
You start from a single process, at the laboratory’s pace. The first result comes on the chosen process, measurable, before deciding the next move.
I lose control
AI proposes, the expert decides and signs. No document goes out without a person accountable for it. The decision stays human.
Governed AI also means prepared people: training on artificial intelligence for the laboratory is in the DaSP Training catalog, Grow stage.
Laboratory internal audit
Not sure where to start? The laboratory internal audit gives you the audit report and the process map. It is worth €600: for the time being we offer it free of charge.
