ISO 17025 Certification Consultants - Laboratory Management System
ISO 17025 Standard - ISO17025 Certification
The ISO 17025 standard specifies the general requirements for the competence to carry out tests and/or calibrations, including sampling. ISO17025 certification is applicable to all laboratories regardless of the number of personnel or the extent of the scope of testing and/or calibration activities. Whilst ISO 9001 has always been at the core of quality management systems, the ISO 17025 standard is now widely acknowledged by Laboratory customers and regulatory authorities as an appropriate standard to govern the work of laboratories by way of implementing a laboratory management system.
Benefits of Compliance
- ISO17025 Provides documented policies and procedures, which will assist in the submission of response to Requests for Information (RFIs) during competitive tender processes.
- Enables assessment of relative quality and capability of different calibration laboratories.
- Demonstrates to regulators and government, a commitment to achieving compliance.
- ISO17025 Enables easy comparison of measurement expertise from different calibration suppliers.
- Eliminates the need for supplier auditing - calibration suppliers independently verified through the certification process.
- Provides a solid foundation for further development of business management systems to embrace other industry standards that are likely to become important in the future.
