The ISO/IEC 17025 standard helps laboratories to provide reliable data and technically valid results to their customers, so as to be deemed competent. It is important to mention that this standard is also applicable to all organizations performing laboratory activities such as universities, research centers, and others, and can be used by inspection bodies and/or other conformity assessment bodies. It also helps to promote continual improvement of data quality and laboratory effectiveness.
After the implementation of the revised international standard, the laboratory will be able to demonstrate that it operates within the new framework using the recent technology and IT techniques. Adopting the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025, like other conformity assessment standards such as ISO/IEC 17043, ISO/IEC 17020, ISO/IEC 17021-1, ISO/IEC 17065, etc., will not only promote competence but will also reduce undesired impacts and potential failures in the laboratory activities.
