ISO/IEC 17025 training builds the management and technical requirements that testing and calibration laboratories need in order to demonstrate their competence. It addresses measurement uncertainty, traceability, method validation and preparation for accreditation. A certificate of attendance is issued to participants.
ISO/IEC 17025 training addresses the international standard required to demonstrate the technical competence and impartiality of testing and calibration laboratories. The training covers the scope of ISO/IEC 17025 and its relationship with accreditation (in Turkiye, TURKAK), impartiality and confidentiality, structural and resource requirements (staff competence, facilities and environmental conditions, equipment, metrological traceability), process requirements (review of requests, tenders and contracts, method selection and validation and verification, sampling and handling of items, evaluation of measurement uncertainty, ensuring the validity of results, reporting), management system requirements (documents, records, risks and opportunities, corrective action, internal audit, management review) and preparation for the accreditation process. The training is reinforced with laboratory examples and exercises on measurement uncertainty and method validation.
The training suits laboratory and technical managers of testing and calibration laboratories, quality managers, laboratory staff and the relevant employees of organizations that seek or maintain ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation; basic knowledge of laboratory processes is useful. A certificate of attendance or achievement is issued at the end of the training. An important distinction: under ISO/IEC 17025 a laboratory is not 'certified', it is accredited; in Turkiye accreditation is carried out by TURKAK. The training prepares the laboratory for accreditation and for competent operation but does not provide the accreditation itself. Sistem Patent Kalite delivers the training and can also provide consulting during the ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation process.
Note: Training is delivered by Sistem Patent Kalite (Academy); participants receive a certificate of attendance or achievement. Training alone does not grant the related ISO certificate; certification is issued after the audit of an accredited certification body, and the training prepares you for that process. Internationally recognized qualifications such as Lead Auditor depend on the course being accredited or approved (for example by Exemplar Global or IRCA). Duration and scope are set according to your needs ().
Under ISO/IEC 17025 a laboratory is not 'certified'; its competence is assessed by an accreditation body and it is accredited. In Turkiye this accreditation is carried out by TURKAK. The training builds competence for accreditation readiness but does not provide the accreditation itself.
Measurement uncertainty shows the confidence interval of a measurement result and is one of the technical requirements of ISO/IEC 17025. Correctly calculated uncertainty is critical for the validity and comparability of laboratory results; the training covers it.
It suits laboratory and technical managers of testing and calibration laboratories, quality managers and laboratory staff; it is particularly valuable for laboratories seeking accreditation.
Yes, a certificate of attendance or achievement is issued to participants. This is not the laboratory's ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation; accreditation is carried out by an accreditation body such as TURKAK.
We will design the course around your team; you can also assign courses through the corporate training software (LMS) and track completion and certificates of attendance from a single platform.
