What is ISO/IEC 17025 Certification?

ISO/IEC 17025:2017 is the international standard for testing and calibration laboratories. It specifies the requirements for competence, impartiality, and consistent operation of laboratories. Certification demonstrates that a laboratory is technically capable of producing accurate and reliable test and calibration results.

Although accreditation is not mandatory, it is widely recognized as proof of quality and competence, giving laboratories a strong competitive advantage.

  • Customer communication and feedback handling

2. Technical Requirements

These ensure the accuracy and reliability of laboratory results:
