  • ISO 17025 questions

    Assuming that I do the heavy lifting like completing your toolkit program and making sure pre-assessment checklists are covered... Couple questions I have:

    1. IS this even possible with a 1 man operation? It seems like several processes require a few staff. Things like management structure, training documentation, impartiality...

    2. Our scope is extremely limited, and there really are no datapoints, 99% are pass fail criteria based on interpretation. How do we handle stuff like proficiency? Our 17025 scope would be ANSI/an accredited furniture testing standard furniture testing standards, a minimum of 2, maximum of 6, and they are all composed of the same procedures...

    IF you guys actually perform accreditation services:

    3. Assuming we have all of our pre assesment checklist completed... How do we determine an overall cost, and can you give me a fairly wild ballpark right now?

    4. What is the deposit and required steps to begin the process and pending letter of accreditation?

    IF you DO NOT perform accreditation services, do you have a recommendation?  

  • Implementing 17025 from 9001

    We have ISO 9001 implementation in place and we are looking to implement ISO 17025. What kind of clauses we may omit to avoid repetition and still be able to comply with 17025? To be more precise what kind of procedures required in 9001 may be used in the implementation of 17025?

  • Procedure for impartiality

    Thank you for your note, and for the very useful procedures and supporting records. From my point of view, one item which is not fully covered in the suite of templates is a procedure to define how impartiality is dealt with (refence 17025:4.1.4). I guess that the procedural steps would be something like:
    • Document anticipated risks which compromise the effective management of impartiality
    • Develop counter-measures to those mitigate risks which are currently unacceptable
    • Monitor and improve as time goes by, especially by making this an agenda item for management review
    Do you have a draft procedure which I could use as a starting point for this area?

  • Documentation and PT program

    I would like to know, what if our testing (Extractacbles and Leachable in packaging material) do not have a single PT Provider?

  • ISO 17025 for Laboratory equipment

    It is actually the ISO 17025 standard that deals with laboratory equipment specifically and is that separate to the ISO 13485 ?"

  • ISO 17025 for internal quality control laboratory

    Are you able to help us adapt the documentation toolkit for ISO 17025 for an internal quality control laboratory in a food manufacturing plant?  We are not a contract laboratory and do not handle samples from outside of the company. 

  • ISO 17025 Lead Auditor Certification

    I am an ISO 17025 lead auditor, providing audits for the research and mining sectors laboratories.
    It is important to have a certification to make official my consultancies?

  • Audit Non-conforming work

    Asking about ISo17025:2017 clause 8.2.2 how to implement in a laboratory?

  • Starting the Process of getting ISO 17025 Accreditation

    Thank you for providing this service. I am beginning the process of getting our laboratory ISO 17025 accreditation. I am hoping to gather a better understanding of the proof of systems in place an auditor is looking for. There are some areas that are easier understood, for example in section 6 having SOPs and documentation of training will show how our lab abides by such requirements. Yet, for example, how does one prove impartiality and demonstrate how it eliminates or minimizes such risks? Are there specific documents for these sections an auditor will be looking for?

    I understand this is a very large question, but any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • Cost of the accreditation in terms of external assessment

    I have a question regarding the accreditation cost to ISO 17025
    I have 5 environmental analysis labs so how much does it cost for the accreditation in terms of external assessment?
    All labs are already provided with the required instruments and also procedures in place
    Thank you very much
