ISO/IEC 17025 Standard is a general requirement for competence of testing and calibration laboratories. It is accepted and applied globally as a quality standard by any testing and calibration laboratories to ensure their tests and results are internationally recognized. This international standard includes two major components which comprise a management system and a technical system that are crucial in running the operations in a laboratory. If one of the components is lacking it will affect the quality of results in the laboratory. The ISO/IEC 17025 requirement has been designed to incorporate all requirements of ISO 9001 that are relevant to the scope of testing and services. Therefore, testing and calibration laboratories that comply with ISO/IEC 17025 requirements will also operate in accordance with ISO 9001.
