The standard identifies the high technical competence and management system requirements that guarantee your test results and calibrations are consistently accurate in laboratory environments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What is an ISO\/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">An ISO\/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory is a laboratory who has completed their ISO\/IEC 17025 accreditation and meet the international standard for laboratory testing and calibration by demonstrating their technical competency and ensuring the accuracy of their results<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">ISO\/IEC 17025 is one of the most significant accreditations for all types of laboratories, universities, and research development centres performing tests and calibration. An ISO\/IEC 17025 accredited lab includes management and technical requirements that enable a testing or calibration laboratory to claim their technical competency, certifying that the results are consistent and accurate and were generated using industry-standard protocols.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What is the purpose of ISO\/IEC 17025?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The ISO\/IEC 17025 is a benchmark of excellence for laboratories across a multitude of business sectors. These include automotive, cosmetics, universities, microelectronics, petrochemical, pharmaceutical and power generation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Consistency and accuracy are top priorities for testing laboratories; however, several variables could cause unreliable results. Possible factors that contribute to inconstant outcomes could be:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The instruments used (which could be uncalibrated or unmaintained)<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Unique laboratory environmental factors<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The competency of the employees performing the test<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">ISO\/IEC 17025 Laboratory Competency enhances the reliability of testing and removes any areas which could lead to manipulation of results or fabrication of potency to increase market value.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">ISO\/IEC 17025 verifies your laboratory\u2019s ability to produce reliable testing and calibration data, as well as appropriately handle and transport test items. ISO\/IEC 17025 evokes customer confidence, reduces expensive retesting, and helps your laboratory compete in international markets<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Why is ISO\/IEC 17025 important?<\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">ISO\/IEC 17025 can boost your laboratory reputation in domestic and overseas markets, introducing new trade opportunities with international acceptance as a quality laboratory, as well as saving time and costs.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The standard demonstrates your commitment to operational efficiency and quality management practices.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">ISO\/IEC 17025 outlines the robust quality controls for choosing authentication methods, analysing statistics, and control data.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It verifies the quality, capability, and expertise of your laboratory.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Helps evaluate staff, methods, equipment, and reporting to guarantee test and calibration result validity.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">ISO\/IEC 17025 increases staff accountability and outlines individual responsibilities.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It eliminates the need for independent supplier audits, saving time and money.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">How do I get ISO\/IEC 17025?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It all starts with a free consultation with one of our experts.
