What is the difference between an AABB accredited paternity test and an unaccredited paternity test?

Accredited laboratories have passed a rigorous review and inspection of their testing processes and laboratory to insure that tests are being done accurately and thoroughly. Accredited laboratories also participate in proficiency tests and are re-inspected annually To be an "accredited paternity test" the AABB requires that the DNA sample collection be witnessed by a neutral third party with no interest in the outcome of the test. Furthermore, photographic proof of identity is required to be submitted with the test to verify the identity of the persons submitting the samples. By definition, home (or "self-collected") paternity tests are not accredited unless they meet the above requirements. Many families opt for a home test kit because it is more affordable and they wish to be discreet. If any laboratory advertises an "accredited home test" without these requirements they are lying and violating AABB standards. At TestCountry, our Informational Home Test does not require proof of identity and is therefore not an AABB accredited test. The Court-Admissible Home Test, however, is an accredited test and comes with full instructions on the duties of the witness and what qualifies as proof of identity. The only difference between home tests and TestCountry-collected accredited tests is the manner of collection. The DNA testing is absolutely identical and follows all AABB standards.
