Laboratories play a critical role in ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and credibility of testing and calibration results across various industries. Whether operating in pharmaceuticals, healthcare, food testing, environmental monitoring, manufacturing, or research, laboratories must maintain high standards of competence and quality. ISO/IEC 17025:2017 is the internationally recognized standard that establishes requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories.
To ensure ongoing compliance with the standard, laboratories conduct regular internal audits. ISO 17025 Internal Auditor Training provides laboratory personnel with the knowledge and practical auditing skills needed to evaluate laboratory management systems, identify nonconformities, and drive continual improvement. The training helps organizations maintain accreditation, improve operational efficiency, and strengthen confidence in laboratory results.
ISO/IEC 17025 is an international standard titled “General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories.” It specifies the requirements laboratories must meet to demonstrate technical competence, impartiality, and the ability to produce valid and reliable results.
The standard applies to:
Organizations accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 demonstrate their commitment to quality, technical excellence, and internationally accepted laboratory practices.
ISO 17025 Internal Auditor Training is a professional course designed to teach participants how to conduct effective internal audits of laboratory management systems based on ISO/IEC 17025:2017 requirements. The course combines a detailed understanding of the standard with auditing techniques based on ISO 19011 guidelines for management system auditing.
Participants learn how to plan, conduct, report, and follow up on internal audits while ensuring compliance with accreditation requirements and laboratory best practices.
