ISO IEC 17025 Laboratory accreditation

ISO/IEC 17025 , is international standard which explains general requirements to be sufficiency for doing of specific tests of laboratory. This international standard can be applied for organizations which realize test and clibration operation. This international standard is benefited in developing of quality, management and technique systems.

WHAT IS ISO 17025

General requirements standard for sufficiency calibration laboratory and test ISO 17025 is issued by TSE in May 2000 year.

This standard was prepared instead of ISO/IEC guide 25 and EN 45001 experiences.
ISO 17025 includes all requirements performed by calibration or test laboratory which they work quality system, are enough as technical and can produce available results.

Laboratory technique sufficiency

Laboratory technique sufficiency is dependent on some factors. These factors are the following

• Qualification, experience, education situation of laboratory person .
• Calibration and technological situation of test/measurement equipment .
• Suitable of sample taking methods .
• Usable of test methods in laboratory which give wanted result.
• Monitor able to national/international standards.
• System about presenting report or efficiency record .
• Quality of test/measure foundation

HOW IS REALIZED LABORATORY ACCREDITATION

If a laboratory is suitable to TSE EN ISO/IEC 17025 standard, it is ready to accreditation. But as addition to this standard, there are addition criteria's including documents

Accreditation process are occurred the following phases:

• Application file is prepared, it is presented to TURKAK.
