Introduction
The primary ISO standard implemented by testing and calibration laboratories is ISO 17025: General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories. The ISO 17025 Consulting Services in Nepal is the one for which most labs must be certified in order to be recognized as technically competent in most nations. In many circumstances, test or calibration results from a lab that is not certified will not be accepted by suppliers or regulatory bodies. ISO first published ISO 17025 in 1999 under the name ISO Guide 25. The most recent version of the standard is ISO 17025:2017. The Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) collaborated to publish the standard (IEC). It is a quality management system that makes sure the laboratory's results are trustworthy and credible. It is used in testing and calibration labs. Although putting ISO 17025 into practice is difficult, it is frequently necessary to guarantee that test results are accepted by clients.
What is ISO 17025?
ISO 17025 is described as the requirements for the capability of laboratories that conduct tests and/or calibrations. One can now conclude that the standard was developed for contract laboratories that do independent sample testing or calibrations. The standard, however, also applies to organizations that, for instance, must carry out considerations-or quality control checks as part of a production process.
Laboratories, including those operated by science and research centers, as well as others that want to implement, have already implemented, or are in the process of implementing a management system with reference to ISO 17025:2018.
