ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditation for Calibration and Testing Laboratories
ISO/IEC 17025 specifies the general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories, including those performing sampling. It applies to laboratories using standard methods, non-standard methods, or laboratory-developed procedures.
This standard is applicable to all laboratories, regardless of their size or the scope of their testing and/or calibration activities.
