ISO 17025 is a Quality Management System that can be applied by testing and calibration laboratories to ensure that laboratory testing is planned, performed, monitored, recorded and reported in an organised and controlled manner. This course looks specifically at the effective application of laboratory quality management systems as per ISO 17025:2017 General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories.

ISO 17025 was updated in Nov 2017 and comes into effect on 17th Jan 2018 with a three year transition period. This course looks at all of the ISO 17025 requirements including specifically what has changed, what has been added and what has been removed.

So whether you have achieved your ISO 17025 accreditation or are implementing ISO 17025 to achieve accreditation, this course provides training for all laboratory personnel who wish to demonstrate that they produce test results that are fit for the purpose and which would stand up to the scrutiny of laboratory accreditation bodies and customers.

What They SayWhat They Say

The course delivered by Anne Marie was  very informative with plenty of discussions around the new standard and its implementation in Laboratories.  I especially benefited from the discussions and examples given regarding Risk Assessment, Impartiality and Measurements of Uncertainty
