About ISO/IEC 17025:2017 - Risk Management requirements & implementation in Laboratories
ISO/IEC 17025:2017 is the international standard for testing and calibration laboratories. It sets out requirements for the Competence, Impartiality, and consistent operation of laboratories, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of their testing and calibration results.
ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard explicitly expects organizations to consider and identify actions to address risks and opportunities associated with their laboratory operations, processes, and activities, aimed at and resulting in improved performance.
By identifying and mitigating Risks, laboratories can improve the quality and reliability of their test results and calibration services. This leads to increased confidence in the accuracy of the laboratory's measurements. Risk Management provides laboratories with valuable insights into potential hazards and vulnerabilities in their operations.
