Centre for Ecotoxicological Research of Podgorica (CETI) was established by the Government of Montenegro for the following purposes:
- ecotoxicological testing and quality testing (physical and chemical analysis and testing of the radionuclide content) of all segments of the environment (water, air, soil, sediment, sea …)
- control of food safety
- dosimetry measurements, quality assurance and control (QA/QC)
- examination of working environment (comfort-microclimate, chemical and physical hazards)
- testing of noise and vibration in the working environment
- preparation and drafting of acts on the assessment of professional risks for employees and proposal of measures for their elimination
- categorization of waste
- the development of toxicological studies, baseline studies, analyses and programs for the needs of state bodies, research institutions, companies and other entities
Since 2012, CETI has a licence for scientific research activity.
The principal goal of CETI is to create and implement successful strategies based on the competitive advantages of our own organization and by meeting the needs and interests of clients in order to broaden the list of clients and strengthen and win the trust of service users at home and in the region. The success of CETI is also based on the engagement of all employees, their willingness to face new challenges, all with the goal of achieving a common vision – making CETI recognized in the region and beyond for its expertise, reliability of its analyses, and availability on the market.
The Accreditation body of Montenegro accredited CETI for:

- Testing of radioactivity in samples of: water, air, soil, food, building materials
- Examining the level of external radiation, ionizing radiation testing
- Acoustical noise testing
- Sampling: surface water and drinking water, liquids and combustible liquids, soil, sediments and sludge
