ISO 17025 Laboratory Accreditation
About this course

Overview

Accreditation assesses two things at once: whether your methods are sound, and whether your management system can prove it. This covers method validation, measurement uncertainty, and the system requirements a testing or calibration laboratory has to have in place.

What you will be able to do

Learning outcomes

  • Map ISO 17025 requirements to the lab
