ISO 17025 2017 General Requirements for the Competence of Testing & Calibration Laboratories - Lead Implementer Course

Description

ISO/IEC 17025 general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories enables laboratories to demonstrate that they operate competently and generate valid results, thereby promoting confidence in their work both nationally and around the world. It also helps facilitate cooperation between laboratories and other bodies by generating wider acceptance of results between countries. Test reports and certificates can be accepted from one country to another without the need for further testing, which, in turn, improves international trade. ISO/IEC 17025 is useful for any organization that performs testing, sampling or calibration and wants reliable results. This includes all types of laboratories, whether they be owned and operated by government, industry or, in fact, any other organization. The standard is also useful to universities, research centers, governments, regulators, inspection bodies, product certification organizations and other conformity assessment bodies with the need to do testing, sampling or calibration. An effective implementation is essential if organizations are to maximize the cost saving, performance, and customer satisfaction benefits of ISO 17025 2017 standards.
