ISO/IEC 17025 Certification Description
ISO/IEC 17025 is the international standard that specifies the general requirements for the competence, impartiality, and consistent operation of testing and calibration laboratories. Developed jointly by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), this standard ensures that laboratories are technically proficient and capable of producing valid and reliable results.
Achieving ISO/IEC 17025 certification demonstrates a laboratory’s commitment to quality, accuracy, and continuous improvement. It covers all aspects of laboratory operations—including personnel competence, equipment calibration, method validation, data integrity, and reporting procedures.
This certification is widely recognized across industries such as pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, food safety, environmental testing, and more. It enhances credibility, facilitates acceptance of test results globally, and supports regulatory and customer compliance.
