We are PJLA accredited to ISO 17025.
ISO/IEC 17025 is an international standard that assesses the technical competency of laboratories. ISO/IEC 17025 covers every aspect of laboratory management, ranging from sample preparation to analytical testing proficiency to record keeping and reports. The standard focuses on several elements including, but not limited to, the laboratories quality system, document control, corrective and preventive action, accommodation and environmental conditions, equipment, measurement uncertainty, evidence of traceability, sampling, and much more.
Accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025 helps laboratories achieve a competitive advantage by reducing costs, establishing credibility, improving efficiency, and enhancing profitability. By achieving accreditation your laboratory has taken a step forward by informing the world that your test and calibration results are technically competent. More importantly, accreditation opens the doors to global markets as it removes the need for retesting products in different countries.
ISO/IEC 17025 is a process not an end in itself. Incorporating ISO 17025 will continually challenge a laboratory’s system to continuously improve quality and the technical competency of its labs and personnel.
Relying on a third party to accredit your laboratory to ISO/IEC 17025 allows you to shift your resources and energy to concentrate on your core competencies.
