LMS ISO/IEC 17025-2017
ISO 17025:2017 is an international standard that specifies the general requirements for the competence, impartiality, and consistent operation of testing and calibration laboratories. The standard, titled "General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories," provides a framework for laboratories to demonstrate their ability to produce accurate and reliable results.
Here are some key points and requirements of ISO 17025:2017
Scope
The standard applies to all organizations performing testing and calibration activities, regardless of the size or the industry they operate in.
Management Requirements
Management Requirements: This section covers the general requirements for the management of the laboratory. It includes areas such as organizational structure, documentation, management review, and continuous improvement.
Technical Requirements
This section outlines the specific technical requirements that laboratories must meet. It includes topics such as personnel competence, equipment and measurement traceability, sampling, and handling of test items, as well as the quality assurance of test and calibration results.
Impartiality and Confidentiality
Laboratories must demonstrate impartiality in their testing and calibration activities. They should also establish procedures to ensure the confidentiality of client information.
Proficiency Testing
Laboratories are required to participate in proficiency testing programs or equivalent activities to demonstrate their competence and performance.
Management of Nonconforming Work
Procedures must be in place to address nonconforming work and to identify and correct any issues that may affect the quality of test and calibration results.
Reporting of Results
Laboratories must establish procedures for reporting test and calibration results, including the content and format of reports.
Equipment and Facilities
Laboratories must have appropriate equipment, facilities, and support services to carry out their testing and calibration activities.
Measurement Uncertainty
Laboratories must evaluate and report measurement uncertainty for all test and calibration results.
Personnel Competence
The competence of laboratory personnel is a critical requirement. Laboratories must have a process to ensure that personnel have the necessary education, training, and experience to perform their assigned tasks.
It's important to note that ISO 17025:2017 is a voluntary standard, and laboratories can choose to seek accreditation to demonstrate their compliance with the requirements. Accreditation is typically provided by national or regional accreditation bodies that assess the laboratory's competence and compliance with the standard.
