Introduction

What ISO/IEC 17025 asks of laboratories

Gaps in ISO/IEC 17025

It's important to note that ISO/IEC 17025 does not cover compliance with laboratory safety requirements.[1][2]


Benefits of using ISO/IEC 17025

In its 2011 Laboratory Quality Management System: Handbook, the World Health Organization (WHO) notes the following concerning the QMS model[1]:

Laboratories not implementing a good quality management system are guaranteed that there will be many errors and problems occurring that may go undetected. Implementing a quality management system may not guarantee an error-free laboratory, but it does yield a high-quality laboratory that detects errors and prevents them from recurring.
