ISO/IEC 17025 is an international standard that specifies the general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. The standard was developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) to provide a framework for laboratories to demonstrate their ability to produce accurate and reliable testing and calibration results.

A laboratory certified according to ISO/IEC 17025 has demonstrated that it meets all the requirements of the standard, including the technical competence of its personnel, and the validity and reliability of its testing methods.
