Why is accreditation to ISO/IEC17025:2017 important?
ISO/IEC 17025 is the main ISO standard used by testing and calibration laboratories.
It is the international standard that defines the general requirements for the competent, impartial, and consistent operation of laboratories. It specifies the activities that must be included in laboratory operations to promote confidence in its ability to produce valid and consistently reliable testing, calibration, and sampling results.
ISO/IEC 17025:2017 is the current standard collaboratively published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
