ISO/IEC 17025:2017
General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

What is ISO/IEC 17025?
ISO/IEC 17025:2017 is the international standard for testing and calibration laboratories. It outlines the general requirements for technical competence, method validity, traceability, impartiality, and reliable result reporting—ensuring that laboratory outputs are scientifically valid and globally accepted.
Why ISO/IEC 17025 is Essential
Accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025 proves your laboratory operates under a technically sound, impartial, and quality-driven framework. It is the benchmark for trust in measurement, calibration, and testing services across all sectors.
