ADAS is delighted to announce that we passed our External HSE ORETO (Official Recognition of Efficacy Testing facilities or Organisations) audit, with particular praise for our excellent record keeping and management systems.

Having an ORETO Certification means that all of our trial work is compliant with Good Experimental Practice (GEP). For ADAS, this is in excess of 400 trials per annum across our multiple trial locations.

Our continued commitment to providing high-quality trial work

Many of us who work in translational research started out working, or still work on, experimental trials and have a deep appreciation for the levels of detail, complexity and rigour involved and required. As well as having to deal with ever-changing weather, it involves complex planning and careful resource management.

Behind every field and greenhouse-based trial is a customer who has had to fight for budget to acquire important data, as well as a team of trialists, researchers, and scientists who work to clear procedures and protocols. Trials are the bedrock of bringing new products and technologies to market for the benefit of the whole farming industry.
