ISO/IEC 17025 – Requirements for Testing and Calibration Laboratories

Testing and calibration are crucially important to succeed in a world where data and procedures must be systematically gathered, documented, analyzed and accounted. The ISO/IEC 17025 standard contains general competency requirements for testing and calibration laboratories, helping companies to make their activities more effective.

The ISO/IEC 17025 standard helps laboratories provide reliable data and technically valid results to their customers, allowing them to be deemed competent. It is important to mention that this standard is also applicable to any organization that performs laboratory activities, such as universities, research centers, and others, and it can be used by inspection bodies and/or other compliance assessment organizations. It also helps to promote continual improvement of data quality and laboratory effectiveness.

In this White paper, Eric Lachapelle, Faton Aliu, Albina Osmani and Jetë Spahiu of PECB will discuss the main points of ISO/IEC 17025, including requirements for: Management, Structure, Resources, Processes and much more.
