ISO/IEC 17025:2017 - A New Accreditation Standard
Contents
2017 saw the publication of a new version of ISO/IEC 17025 - General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. Among other things, the new Standard has a substantially revised structure, including different management system options. There is a new emphasis on "risks and opportunities", clearer reference to sampling activities, new requirements around conformity assessment and a new emphasis on metrological traceability.
This brief Information Leaflet, prepared by the Eurachem Education and training Working Group, gives a quick overview of the main changes in the 2017 edition of the Standard.
