ISO 17025 - Laboratory management system

ISO/IEC 17025:2017
is an ISO standard used by testing and calibration laboratories to show competence in performing specific tests or calibrations. Accreditation to the standard is a formal recognition of a demonstration of that competence/IEC 17025 was initially published in 1999. A revision was added in 2005 and the standard was recently updated in November 2017. ISO/IEC 17025 enhances the acceptance of products across national borders. By removing the need for additional calibration, testing, medical testing, and inspection of imports and exports, technical trade barriers are reduced. This way, the free-trade goal of a 'product tested or calibrated once and accepted everywhere' can be realized. Who should attend? Managers and staff from different departments
