ISO/IEC 17025 specifies the general requirements for the competence to conduct tests and/or calibrations, including sampling. It covers testing and calibration quality systems using standard methods, non-standard methods, and laboratory-developed methods.
ISO/IEC 17025:2017 consists of five elements: Scope, Normative References, Terms and Definitions, Management Requirements, and Technical Requirements. The two main sections are Management Requirements and Technical Requirements. Management Requirements are primarily related to the operation and effectiveness of the laboratory’s quality management system. Technical Requirements includes factors that determine the correctness and reliability of the tests and calibrations performed by the laboratory.
This ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Implementation Workshop uses practical examples to help participants understand how to implement various aspects of a laboratory management system, and includes training on:

Bob,
Thank you for all of your time and assistance with both; the Internal Audits and the Gap Analysis. I strongly feel that our QMS will have great improvements from these events.
Hi Bob,
Not sure if I ever told you, but the quality manual spreadsheets you provided have impressed every external auditor that’s come in.
We are grateful to you for sharing the template with us. We were certified to the 2015 version of the standard in December and the auditor said we saved him hours of auditing because we had all the information in one place.
More recently a customer asked if we might share the template with them. But I wanted to ask you if that would be alright before doing so.
Please let me know as soon as you can. Take care.
Hi Al,
I want to tell you how pleased everyone was with how far we have come. That is due in no small part to your efforts and coaching. Scott and I appreciate what you have done.
We had our ISO 9001:2015 certification audit this week and we passed with flying colors! No findings and only 3 OFI’s. We should be receiving our certificate in 4-6 weeks.
I wanted to say Thank You, to you and the QSG team for helping us with this transition. Your assistance certainly made it a much less daunting of a task for us to achieve. I’ll be sure to contact you when it’s time for our internal audit.
Thanks again for all your help!
Angelo,
It feels nice to put the successful audit behind us! We filed our corrective action report and sent it over last Friday. We should get our official re-certification in the coming days.
Al was a great resource in pulling us through this project. He fit well with the team. With Al and Don, you have some quality people working for your organization.
We’ll be getting back in touch with Al next month to begin scheduling out the training for ISO 9001:2015.
To Bob, Angelo, and Al,
As you have heard we successfully completed our ISO 9001, 2015 audit this past week with no findings and only 2 observations for improvements. I would like to thank you all for your efforts in helping us complete our journey. I’m confident this will make Vacuum Barrier a stronger organization going further. We will keep you in mind as additional demands surface that we may require your services again.
