ISO 17025 standard

ISO 17025 standard

The ISO 17025 standard is an international standard in the field of accreditation of testing, sampling and calibration laboratories. The ISO 17025 standard consists of process, structural and… requirements in the field of specialization and accreditation of the laboratory, which can be used in the accreditation of the laboratory as well as the rehabilitation of the laboratory and Improving business conditions and processes should have an appropriate effect.

ISO17025:2017 certification process

The process of obtaining ISO 17025 standard certification with the advice of our group is not a complicated process. Obtaining the ISO17025 certificate has two stages: The stage of registration and provision of information required by the National Qualification Center and the stage of implementing standard requirements in the laboratory. Both stages proceed simultaneously from the beginning of the ISO17025 certification project by the modirfa team. In addition to registering the information required by the National Qualification Center and following up on administrative matters, the modirfa team of the laboratory prepares the necessary documents for the implementation of the system and after training the laboratory personnel, supervises the proper implementation of the system. Possible problems and defects in the implementation will be investigated and resolved, and after completion, an internal audit will be conducted to ensure compliance with the standard requirements, and after that, a management review meeting will be held to summarize the system and prepare for a third-party audit by the National Certification Center. We will qualify. In this process, from the beginning to obtaining the certificate, the consultants of the Modirfa Group are with your organization and are responsible for all follow-ups. So, if you intend to get your laboratory accredited, please contact the modirfa group.

ISO 17025 standard certificate

Obtaining the certificate of ISO 17025 standard gives a high level of credibility to the activities of the laboratory. Obtaining the ISO 17025 standard should only be done from AB or Accreditation Body companies that are members of ILAC or the International Association of Laboratory Accreditation, and in Iran, NACI is responsible for this.

So far, Madirefa has managed to advise, implement, train and obtain the ISO 17025 standard certificate from the National Center of Qualification for a large number of its customers in the 2005 version and the new version of the 2017 standard.

Accreditation of a laboratory shows its technical competence and ability to test systems, products, parts or materials that the laboratory claims to be proficient in testing and reporting on, as well as ISO17025 certification. The determinant of this is that the laboratory performs its work correctly and according to the standards and methods of the relevant tests. Good laboratories provide defensible results, having validation means that the results are defensible based on a known standard that does not change with personnel or environmental conditions. Other advantages of this system can be summarized as follows:

  1. Creating a systematic approach to control all the activities and define appropriate procedures and documents.
  2. Gaining international recognition of technical competence and gaining the trust of customers and beneficiaries, as well as opening the doors of domestic and international markets.
  3. Increasing the quality of employees’ knowledge and reducing defects and defects and improving services.
  4. Saving time and money due to the reduction or elimination of the need to re-test the goods.
  5. Better control of laboratory operations
  6. Increasing self-confidence of employees in doing work and testing/calibrating data.
  7. Validation and appropriateness of test methods
  8. Traceability of measurement and calibration with international standards
  9. Proportion of calibration and repair and maintenance of test equipment and environment
  10. Guaranteeing the quality of sampling, transporting and moving test items and calibration data.
  11. Taking feedback from customers, in order to develop the management system.
  12. Be sure to use the latest valid version of the standard in question.
