Additional benefits of ISO 9001 for Testing & Calibration labs

 Are there additional benefits over and above ISO 17025 accreditation.

The thing is – Our management holds the view that ISO 9001 should be less necessary for our Testing & Calibration labs which are ISO 17025 accredited???

Truth is that ISO 9001 and ISO 17025 have different purposes. ISO 9001 is about implementing a quality management system and is applicable to any kind of organization. Quality management systems can be certified by a certification body.

ISO 17025 is about “General laboratory competency of testing calibration requirements” and is applicable to laboratories that produce results, like composition of a sample, that can be used in a court of law. ISO 17025 main concern is competent, impartial, and consistent operation of laboratories. ISO 17025 is mainly used by calibration laboratories. Laboratories are accredited by an accreditation body.
