What is ISO 17025 Certification?

ISO/IEC 17025 is the main standard used by testing and calibration laboratories. ISO 17025 Certification was developed so that testing & calibration laboratories were recognized for their capabilities & areas of competence. Originally known as ISO/IEC Guide 25, ISO/IEC 17025 was initially issued by the International Organization for Standardization in 1999. All measurements and decisions should be based on accurate, repeatable, verifiable, cost effective, timely, and believable measurements, opinions, and recommendations. ISO 17025 Certification helps assures this happens first time, every time, and on-time. Without ISO 17025, the data, opinion, and recommendations are immediately suspected, questionable, risky, and of greatly reduced value and usability.
Customers should ensure that all data and opinions upon which they rely can be traced back through an unbroken chain of data based on ISO 17025 Certification.
