Understanding Laboratory Quality Management ISO 17025
Course Description
• Laboratories can expect to be under continuing pressure to meet more exacting ‘good measurement practice’ requirements, as detailed in ISO/IEC 17025 and related laboratory accreditation standards. In order to meet these new requirements and demonstrate that their measurements are fit for purpose, • Laboratories will need to upgrade their technical systems, particularly with regard to the following: - The selection and validation of methods. - Establishing the traceability of measurements and the selection and use of reference materials. - The evaluation of measurement uncertainty

Making the decision to implement ISO/IEC 17025 can be critical to the overall success of a laboratory. However, the manner with which it is implemented is even more crucial, because if properly done, it will literally enable the company to meet the highest standards for its customers. It will also provide universal assurance that its data and service quality will consistently meet these expectations, resulting in worldwide acceptance of your laboratory’s test results and providing legally defensible data to your clients. The purpose of this course is to provide attendees with an understanding of the background to the laboratory accreditation
Process, and the interrelation between QS/ISO 9000 Quality Management System Standards. The course will provide detailed guidance on the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025, the structuring of quality system documentation, implementation steps and laboratory accreditation requirements. Upon completing this course attendees will receive certification of training. The certificates shall attest to the participation of the course “Laboratory Quality Management – ISO/IEC 17025”.
