The basic requirements for a management system for testing and calibration laboratories are based on the international standard ISO/IEC 17025. These are used for the assessment and accreditation of laboratories worldwide by Accreditation Bodies in order to enhance the confidence of the market for the testing and calibration results these laboratories issue.
The ISO/IEC 17025 was revised in 2017 in order to reflect the latest changes in market conditions and technology as well as encompass the activities and new ways of working of laboratories today.
