Control Union Malaysia Laboratory Achieves ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditation under SAMM No. 1262
Control Union Malaysia is proud to announce that CUMY Laboratory has achieved ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation under the Skim Akreditasi Makmal Malaysia (SAMM), with accreditation number SAMM No. 1262.
This marks an important milestone in our journey to establish one of Malaysia’s most advanced analytical testing laboratories. The accreditation reflects the dedication of our laboratory team and our continued investment in technical expertise, testing methods, quality systems and laboratory equipment.
It also reinforces our commitment to providing clients with reliable and technically valid results that support informed business decisions.
Establishing a Strong Foundation in Palm Oil Testing
Our initial accredited scope focuses on palm oil testing, establishing a strong foundation in one of Malaysia’s most important industries.
Palm oil producers, processors, traders and exporters rely on accurate laboratory results to assess product quality, meet commercial requirements and support compliance throughout the supply chain. Reliable testing provides businesses with the information required to manage product specifications, maintain quality standards and make confident operational and commercial decisions.
Through our accredited testing capabilities, CUMY Laboratory is well positioned to support the palm oil industry with dependable analytical services that meet internationally recognised laboratory requirements.

What ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditation Means
ISO/IEC 17025 is an internationally recognised standard for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. Achieving accreditation confirms that a laboratory has demonstrated the technical capability and quality systems required to produce valid and reliable results within its accredited scope.
For CUMY Laboratory, this accreditation confirms that our palm oil testing activities are supported by:
- Verified testing methods
- Qualified and competent personnel
- Calibrated laboratory equipment
- Measurement traceability
- Established quality control procedures
- Proper handling and management of test samples
- Independent assessment of laboratory competence
These requirements help ensure that testing is conducted consistently and that the results can be used with confidence.
Laboratory data plays an important role in product compliance, quality assessment, supplier acceptance, trade and other critical business decisions. By meeting the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025, CUMY Laboratory provides clients with greater confidence in the technical validity and reliability of their test results.
Strengthening Our Integrated TIC Capabilities
This milestone also strengthens Control Union Malaysia’s integrated Testing, Inspection and Certification capabilities.
Testing, inspection and certification are closely connected throughout the supply chain. Laboratory testing provides the analytical data needed to understand the quality, composition and characteristics of a product. Inspection provides independent verification of products, processes and shipments, while certification helps organisations demonstrate compliance with recognised standards and requirements.
By bringing accredited analytical testing together with our established inspection and certification services, Control Union Malaysia can provide producers, traders, exporters and supply chain partners with a more comprehensive and integrated service offering.
This allows clients to work with a trusted partner that understands the wider operational, regulatory and commercial requirements affecting their business.
Expanding Our Laboratory Capabilities
While palm oil testing represents the beginning of our accredited scope, our plans extend across a wider range of industries and testing requirements.
Over the coming months, we will progressively expand our accredited capabilities across food, feed, agriculture, biomass, minerals, environmental and microbiological testing.
This expansion will be supported by continued investment in laboratory technology, technical expertise, quality systems and the development of new testing methods. Each new capability will be introduced with the same focus on accuracy, consistency and reliable service.
Our aim is to build a laboratory that can respond to the evolving needs of industries in Malaysia and across the region. As regulations, market requirements and customer expectations continue to develop, access to reliable analytical testing will become increasingly important for businesses seeking to manage risk, demonstrate compliance and maintain confidence in their products.

Accurate laboratory testing supports more than regulatory compliance. It also helps organisations understand their products, identify potential issues and make informed decisions throughout their operations.
Reliable analytical results can support businesses in:
- Assessing product quality and composition
- Meeting customer and contractual specifications
- Supporting import and export requirements
- Managing supplier and supply chain risks
- Verifying product claims
- Improving quality control processes
- Supporting research and product development
- Making informed commercial decisions
CUMY Laboratory combines technical capability with an understanding of industry needs. Our team works closely with clients to understand their testing requirements and provide appropriate analytical support.
Through our wider laboratory services, we support testing requirements across solid biomass, palm oil and vegetable oil, environmental samples, microbiology, metals and minerals, and fertilisers. We also offer research and development support and flexible Plug and Play laboratory solutions.
