Your safe trading update

Next year will see the ICA celebrate its 175th anniversary. We want all our members to be part of the celebrations and one way you can is to tell us what the ICA means to you. We aim to include the best bits in a commemorative video.
Sticking with our 175th anniversary. To mark the occassion, our 2016 trade event will return to Liverpool on 20-21 October. We know it will be a sell-out so save the date and make sure you get a ticket when they go on sale in the new year.

"The certification has recognised our laboratory’s professional level and will continue to help raise our standard in the future."
