PROGRAM OVERVIEW

ISO/IEC 17025, General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories, is the international reference for testing and calibration laboratories wanting to demonstrate that they operate competently and generate technically valid results. This provides confidence both nationally and internationally. Test reports and certificates can be accepted from one country to another without the need for further testing, which, in turn, facilitate international trade. ISO/IEC 17025 can be used by any organization that performs testing, sampling or calibration. This includes all types of laboratories, first party, second party and third party. The standard is useful to universities, research institutions, governments, regulators, inspection bodies, product certification organizations and other conformity assessment bodies where testing, sampling or calibration is required. This training course is designed to provide an understanding of the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 and how laboratories can implement it.
