ISO/IEC 17025 is an international standard that outlines the general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. It ensures that laboratories operate with a high level of quality, accuracy, and reliability in their results. In achieving ISO 17025 certification, a laboratory demonstrates its technical competence and its ability to produce valid and consistent test and calibration data. This certification is crucial for building trust with clients, regulatory bodies, and other stakeholders, especially in industries where precision and compliance are essential.
