Mineral Analysis
The Standards Council of Canada (SCC) offers accreditation to laboratories that perform the analysis of all media used in mining exploration and processing. This includes, but is not limited to:
- sediments
- rocks
- ores
- metal products
- tailings
- water
- vegetation
Accreditation is the formal recognition by SCC of the competence of a mineral analysis testing laboratory to manage and perform this type of activity. Prior to becoming accredited, a laboratory must successfully complete three proficiency testing cycles and an on-site assessment.
