ISO 9001 is prerequisites for ISO 17025 for the general quality management system but ISO17025 has more specific requirement for testing and calibration laboratories. Now to answer the question, NO if you are ISO17025 certified you are not ISO9001 certified. But why do you need have both certified?

The laboratories that comply with ISO 17025 also operate in accordance with ISO 9001 and are able to implement a single quality system that meets the requirements of both Standards. ... It is generally agreed that commercial Testing and Calibration Laboratories should be accredited according to ISO17025.

NO, THESE ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS, ONE IS ACCREDITATION AND OTHER IS CERTIFICATION. ONE CALLS FOR TECHNICAL COMPETENCY WITH LABORATORY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, WHILE OTHER GENERATING YOUR OWN QUALITY SYSTEM WITH ADHERENCE TO THE GENERIC ISO 9001 REQUIREMENTS AND FOLLOWING AS DOCUMENTED BY THE ORGANISATION.  

No an ISO17025 certified labroatory is not ISO9001 certified as ISO 17025 has more specific requirments for the purpose of testing and callibration laboratories.

No it is not because ISO 9001 CERTIFICATION IS PROCESS BASED ON COMPETENCE OFCORE BUSINESS AND ISO 17205 IS PROCESSBASED ON TESTING AND CALIBRATION OF LABS.

The ISO 9001 is process centric certification with no emphasis on competence in the core business of the company.

In case of Lab the main core business will testing & calibration client samples & artifact , the competence  & compliance to standard is verified through ISO 17025

No it is not.  An ISO 17025 is ISO 17025 accredited as such. Although there are many commonalities with the ISO 9000 standard, ISO 17025 is more specific in requirements for competence and it applies directly to those organizations that produce testing and calibration results. In other terms ISO 17025 is a technical certification/accreditation. On the other hand, ISO 9001 is more of a generic certification which fits all types of organisations. ISO 9001 is aimed at the Quality Management System.
