Bywater is a world-leading provider of ISO 17025 training and very the first to offer CQI and IRCA certified ISO 17025 Lead Auditor training based on the new standard, ISO/IEC 17025:2017. This latest edition remains the international reference for laboratories that need to demonstrate their capability to customers, government regulators and industry groups.
As with all ISO and IEC standards, the working group revising the standard used the expertise of industry experts interested in conformity assessment and accreditation to ensure the standard provides requirements for effective management of measurement and testing systems.
If you provide or procure services within the scope of ISO/IEC 17025, such as calibration, analysis, testing or measurement, then you will be interested in the requirements of the revised standard. The overall aim for use of ISO/IEC 17025 is that laboratories and testing organisations are able to demonstrate competence, that results they provide are valid, measurement uncertainty is known and that results are traceable to National Standards.
Bywater ISO 17025 training courses enable delegates to:
- gain an awareness of ISO/IEC 17025:2017 requirements
- understand the standard’s role for laboratories to demonstrate capability and competence in the overall conformity assessment framework
- plan and conduct effective internal and external audits of a laboratory management system
