It clearly evidences adherence to safety requirements, which thereby satisfices authoritative bodies as well as customers and clients.<\/p>\n

3. Performance guideline<\/h3>\n

Yet, gaining the ISO 17025<\/a> certification is not an easy task, and for good reason. It’s to be aspired to, as well as upheld. Consistent reviewal of the standard means that laboratories must remain at the top of their game, and ensure continues competency and data quality. In this way, clients, stakeholder, and employees themselves can be sure that the data produced in the laboratory is accurate and reliable, thereby further evidencing the quality and expertise of the organisation.<\/p>\n

5. Save time and money<\/h3>\n

While the certification can be seen as costly to undertake, this is significantly outweighed by its time and cost-saving benefits. Not only does it eliminate the need to retest products, there is also no longer any requirement for supplier audits by independent parties.<\/p>\n

6. Greater efficiency<\/h3>\n

Similarly, following the guidelines of the standard is a great way to increase operational efficiency, and productivity.
