What Is ISO/IEC 17025?

ISO/IEC 17025 is an internationally recognized standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).

It specifies the general requirements for the competence, impartiality, and consistent operation of laboratories that perform testing or calibration.

In simple terms, ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation means that a laboratory:

• ✅ Has demonstrated technical competence in its testing methods

• ✅ Operates a rigorous quality management system

• ✅ Produces accurate and reproducible results

• ✅ Undergoes regular audits and proficiency testing to maintain compliance

This accreditation is trusted around the world as proof that a laboratory meets the highest standards of quality and reliability.
