We
are (NQA) ACLASS accredited to ISO 17025.
ISO/IEC 17025 is an
international standard that assesses the technical
competency of laboratories. ISO/IEC 17025 covers every
aspect of laboratory management, ranging from sample
preparation to analytical testing proficiency to record
keeping and reports. The standard focuses on several
elements including, but not limited to the laboratories
quality system, document control, corrective and preventive
action, accommodation and environmental conditions,
equipment, measurement uncertainty, evidence of
traceability, sampling, and much more.
Accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025 helps
laboratories achieve a competitive advantage by reducing
costs, establish credibility, improve efficiency, and
enhance profitability. By achieving accreditation your
laboratory has taken a step forward by informing the world
that your test and calibration results are technically
competent. More importantly, accreditation opens the doors
to global markets as it removes the need for retesting
products in different countries.
ISO/IEC 17025 is a process not an end in
itself. Incorporating ISO 17025 will continually
challenge a laboratory’s system to continuously
improve quality and the technical competency of its labs and
personnel
Relying on a third party to accredit your
laboratory to ISO/IEC 17025 allows you to shift your
resources and energy to concentrate on your core
competencies. Read More... |
