To become accredited, a facility must be in compliance with the current standards, which once accomplished, becomes a symbol of the facilities commitment to provide quality product and services. These programs strive to improve the safety of collecting, processing, testing, distributing, and administering a variety of testing services. Many of the accrediting bodies combine internationally accepted criteria with the technical requirements appropriate for the various tests.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The Ministry of Justice has accredited DDC to\u00a0carry out paternity tests as directed by the civil courts in England and Wales under section 20 of the Family Law Reform Act of 1969.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;
