What is ISO 17025 Certification?
ISO 17025 Certification is an internationally recognized standard that sets the requirements for the competence and quality management systems of testing and calibration laboratories. Specifically for scales and pipettes, ISO 17025 Certification ensures that the calibration processes and procedures used by the laboratory meet the highest standards of accuracy, reliability, and traceability.
The certification covers various aspects of the calibration process, including the laboratory's technical competence, the validity of calibration methods, the calibration equipment and traceability, the quality assurance of measurement results, and the competency of laboratory personnel.
When a laboratory is ISO 17025 certified for scales and pipettes, it means that the laboratory has undergone a rigorous assessment by an accredited certification body. This assessment includes a thorough evaluation of the laboratory's management system, technical capabilities, equipment calibration, personnel training, and adherence to quality control procedures.
