ISO 17025

ISO 17025 specifies the general requirements for the competence to carry out tests and/or calibrations, including sampling. Care has been taken to incorporate all those requirements of ISO 9001 and ISO 9002 that are relevant to the scope of testing and calibration services that are covered by the laboratory quality system.

This international standard is applicable to all laboratories regardless of the number of personnel or the extent of the scope of testing and/or calibration activities. It contains all of the requirements that testing calibration laboratories to have to meet if they wish to demonstrate that they:

1. operate a reliable Quality System
2. are technically competent and are able to generate technically valid results

Accreditation bodies that recognize the competence of testing and calibration laboratories should use this International Standard as the basis for their accreditation.
