Why ISO 17025 is required for Laboratory Quality?

ISO 17025 CALL FOR QUALIFICATION, eXPERIENCE, SKILL AND TECHNICAL COMPETENCE TO WORK IN THE ISO 17025 LAB ENVIRONMENT UNLIKE ISO 9001.

Accreditation provides the underlying assurance that organizations are adhering to internationally recognized standards.

aboratory test results impact many areas of our daily lives: assurance of safe drinking water, food safety, health care, environmental monitoring, providing energy, mineral exploration and various production processes. Regulators and others rely on the competence of laboratories to deliver the results on which important decisions are made. Accreditation enhances the public confidence in those test results. Increasingly, regulators and suppliers require laboratory test results to be accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard.

being accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 is a third independent party testimony the technical and managerial ability and competency to carry out certain conformity assessment activities specified in its accreditation schedule.

ISO 17025 means for me 

organized , safe , accuracy , Data secure , First time result, professionally 

In order to show that the laboratory is run under the standard procedures and requirements that are stated within the framework of ISO/IEC 17025. Getting this certificate demonstrates that your lab not only performs specific tests, it also cares about calibrations and/or measurements, as well as competence of lab technicians, repeatability  of test results, measures the uncertainty amount, as well as these are managed by standards stated for which they hold accreditation.  

Laboratories that can demonstrate compliance with ISO/IEC 17025 at assessment have demonstrated they operate using sound management practices and are technically competent to perform specific tests, calibrations and/or measurements for which they hold accreditation.   

Because ISO 17025 evaluates the technical competence in lab testing and calibration services and it applies to organizations that produce testing and calibration results.

ISO5 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories is the main ISO standard used for the testing and calibration laboratories.
