What is ISO 17025?
ISO/IEC 17025:2017 specifies general requirements for the competence, impartiality, and consistent operation of testing and calibration laboratories. It is the primary standard used by accreditation bodies worldwide.
ISO 17025 enables laboratories to demonstrate they operate competently and can generate valid, reliable results. It covers management requirements (similar to ISO 9001) and technical requirements for testing and calibration activities.
In Saudi Arabia, SASO (Saudi Standards, Metrology and Quality Organization) and the Saudi Accreditation Committee (SAAC) recognize ISO 17025 for laboratory accreditation.
Accredited laboratories gain international acceptance of their test reports and calibration certificates through ILAC MRA mutual recognition agreements.
