TQP recommends you go for the BS EN ISO 17025 for many reasons. First, the ISO 17025 standard can be considered the technical complement to ISO 9000, and any company operating in compliance with ISO 17025 will be considered meeting the requirements of ISO 9001.
Second, The ISO 17025 requirements are specific to testing and calibration laboratories and were particularly developed to guide laboratories, from sample preparation to testing, record keeping, and reporting.
Third, both the accredited laboratory and the customer will have mutual benefit from the ISO 17025 accreditation, as clarified below:
Moreover, the availability of accredited testing and calibration laboratories will have its impact on the country as a whole; it is a step forward for the country to meet the quality challenges. The industries, manufacturers, traders, etc. will be able to get their products accepted worldwide; also, the quality control of imported products by accredited national laboratories will ensure that only technically sound and safe products will reach the consumers in the country. Also, the quality control of locally manufactured products ends with building the consumers’ confidence in the quality of the national products and leads to boosting such products and promoting the national industry.
Based on our wide experience in preparing labs for accreditations, TQP can be your consultant towards getting your ISO 9001 certificate or ISO 17025 accreditation, whether in Lebanon or abroad.
