AABB Accreditation
Quick answer
The gold-standard accreditation for U.S. paternity labs, required by every U.S. court.
AABB (formerly the American Association of Blood Banks) accredits relationship-testing labs against strict standards for chain of custody, technician qualification, marker count, and result verification. Every U.S. court, USCIS, SSA, and state vital-records office requires an AABB-accredited lab for legal paternity results.
