What is ISO/IEC17025?

ISO/IEC17025 is an accreditation standard established under an agreement between the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), which was issued in December 1999 as a standard succeeding to ISO/IEC Guide 25. This accreditation means that the receiver has been accredited as a calibration laboratory accepted internationally, which ensures traceability in conjunction with international standards. ISO/IEC17025 warrants the quality of the calibration and test results, and the accreditation covers one calibration/test object and a specific calibration and test method thereof. In other words, an authoritative third party strictly examines applicants and gives accreditation to organizations that are acknowledged as having very sophisticated technical capability to conduct specific calibration and tests.
