| ==History of ISO/IEC 17025==
| |
| Quality management is defined by [[ISO 9000]] as a set of "coordinated activities to direct and control an organization with regard to quality.” By extension, those coordinated activities require sufficient "organizational structure, resources, processes and procedures" in order to implement quality management throughout the enterprise, otherwise known as a quality system.<ref name="WHOLQMS11">{{Cite web |last=World Health Organization |date=2011 |title=Laboratory Quality Management System: Handbook |url=http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/44665/9789241548274_eng.pdf?sequence=1 |format=PDF |publisher=World Health Organization |isbn=9789241548274}}</ref>

| As laboratory consultancy Perry Johnson Consulting notes, the difference between the [[ISO/IEC 17025]] standard and [[ISO 9000|ISO 9001:2015]] can be found in comparing the accreditation process: "ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation is recognition of a laboratory’s competence to produce technically valid results, while ISO 9001:2015 registration of a laboratory is limited to QMS conformance."<ref name="PJC17025_22">{{cite web |url=https://www.pjcinc.com/Downloads/ISOIEC17025_exov.pdf |format=PDF |title=ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Testing and Calibration Laboratories: An Executive Overview |author=Perry Johnson Consulting, Inc |date=January 2022 |accessdate=18 December 2022}}</ref> They add that ISO/IEC 17025:2017's "technical competency requirements go beyond QMS registration and relate specifically to the qualifications needed with regard to personnel, equipment, facilities, and laboratory methods."<ref name="PJC17025_22" />

| ==How supporting quality management in the laboratory improves society==
| |
| "Quality management is as applicable for the [[Clinical laboratory|medical laboratory]] as it is for manufacturing and industry," states the [[World Health Organization]] (WHO) in its 2011 ''Laboratory Quality Management System: Handbook''.<ref name="WHOLQMS11" /> While the medical laboratory is better covered by [[ISO 15189]], the WHO's statement highlights that all laboratories can benefit from implementing quality management principles.
