Are employees of 17025 certified labs required to have transcripts on file?

In terms of ISO 17025 requirements, education and training records and evidence of competence are essential. Typically the diploma without a transcript will be suitable. Laboratories should, however, have recruitment criteria and minimum education requirements documented. If necessary, to verify a specific educational achievement for a particular position, a transcript would be required. This could, for example, be a result (e.g.,>70%) for a specific course; or diploma. Furthermore, depending on the sector, employees may need their transcripts to join a professional body mandated by legislation, for example, a veterinary association or professional scientists association.
