ISO/IEC 17025

Certification for Testing & Calibration Laboratories

ISO/IEC 17025 is an international standard that specifies the general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. It outlines criteria for demonstrating technical competence, impartiality, and the ability to produce reliable and accurate results. Laboratories that achieve ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation are recognized for their proficiency in conducting testing and calibration activities across various fields and industries.

Certification Steps:

1. Define Testing Scope & Accreditation Goals

We work with you to clarify which testing or calibration activities fall within the scope. We also determine your accreditation objectives (e.g. NATA, international recognition, contractual compliance).

2. Gap Analysis & Technical Assessment

We audit your existing lab processes, equipment calibration, traceability records, uncertainty calculations, and staff qualifications to identify where you meet — and fall short of — the standard.

3. Develop Management & Technical Systems

We create or refine your Quality Manual, technical SOPs, equipment logs, method validation records, and control procedures — tailored to your operations and field of testing.

4. Internal Audit & Technical Review

We guide you through a full internal audit, including review of test methods, data handling, corrective actions, and a formal management review. We ensure you’re technically ready for an external audit.

5. Accreditation Audit

We help you prepare for the external audit by NATA (or your selected ILAC member). We remain by your side to support documentation submission, auditor queries, and any corrective action responses.

Prove Your Lab’s Competence. Build Trust. Achieve Global Recognition.

Whether you’re testing soil samples, calibrating instruments, or analysing water quality, your lab’s credibility depends on one thing: demonstrated technical competence.

ISO/IEC 17025:2017 is the internationally recognised standard that proves your lab can generate valid, consistent, and traceable results. It’s not just a quality badge — it’s a strategic advantage.

In Australia, this standard is the foundation for NATA accreditation (National Association of Testing Authorities), and it’s often required to:
