ISO/IEC 17025 facilitates international cooperation by establishing wider acceptance of laboratory test results between countries and organizations. This not only provides global confidence in the work of an organization but also promotes national and international trade through the acceptance of test and calibration data between countries, without the need for additional testing.
ISO 17025 is a quality management system and the main standard for testing and calibration laboratories. ISO 17025 shares many commonalities with ISO 9000 but ISO 17025 evaluates the technical competence in lab testing and calibration services and it applies to organizations that produce testing and calibration results.
To achieve ISO 17025 accreditation, the laboratory's quality management system and technical competence is evaluated thoroughly by a third-party. Audits are conducted on a regular basis to maintain accreditation. ISO 17025 accreditation can only be granted by an authorized accreditation body. Accreditation means that the laboratory has met the Management Requirements and Technical Requirements of ISO17025 and is deemed technically competent to produce calibration and testing results.
ISO 17025 Accreditation proves a laboratory has an acceptable quality management system in place, and it has the ability and competence to provide testing and calibration results. Accredited labs perform tests against the international standards (ISO 17025) and results are mutually acceptable between different governmental and regulatory organizations. The arrangement between accreditation bodies is that accredited members' test results will meet the same minimum quality standard regardless of the accreditation body and that the calibration results would be recognized as if they had performed the calibration themselves.
Acousto-Scan has been assessed by NATA to Comply with ISO17025:2017 and what it can test in it scope of Accreditation.
This allows Acousto-Scan to test international and has been accredited to ILAC.
ILAC is the international organization for accreditation bodies operating in accordance with ISO/IEC 17011 and involved in the accreditation of conformity assessment bodies including calibration laboratories (using ISO/IEC 17025), testing laboratories (using ISO/IEC 17025),
ILAC promotes the increased use and acceptance of accredited calibration, testing, medical testing and inspection data and results, proficiency testing programs and reference materials internationally. Industry, governments, regulators and consumers are encouraged to use and accept results from accredited conformity assessment bodies, including in other economies. By accepting products across national borders, the need for them to undergo additional testing or inspection in each country into which they are provided is removed.
