We help you to understand the quality management system requirements that are relevant for testing and calibration services and technical competence. Growth in the use of management systems has increased the need to ensure that laboratories can operate a quality management system that is seen as compliant with ISO 9001:2015 as well as demonstrate technical competency. Therefore, ISO/IEC 17025:2017 has been designed to incorporate all the ISO 9001:2015 requirements that are relevant to the scope of testing and calibration services, as well as specifying the technical requirements for technical competence.
The ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Foundation level course includes a comprehensive review as well as exposure to the new core philosophies and updated requirements of this International Standard.
