CAU40 - Certificate ISO 17025

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 test and calibration results.

A laboratory that has been accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 has demonstrated that it meets all of the requirements of the standard, including the technical competence of its staff, the validity and reliability of its test methods, the traceability of its measurements to national or international standards, the appropriateness and condition of its equipment, and the quality of its management systems and processes.

Obtaining an ISO/IEC 17025 certificate is a rigorous and comprehensive process that involves a thorough assessment of the laboratory's technical competence, management systems, and processes by an accreditation body. The accreditation body evaluates the laboratory's conformity to the standard by conducting a series of audits and assessments, which may include document reviews, on-site inspections, and proficiency testing.

In summary, an ISO/IEC 17025 certificate is a formal recognition that a laboratory has met the internationally recognized standard for testing and calibration competence. This accreditation provides assurance to customers and stakeholders that the laboratory is competent to produce reliable and accurate results.
