Checklist to see if we should become ISO 17025
I was wondering if you could assist. I’m looking for a check list of sorts to be able to determine what I would need to do in my department to see if we should become ISO17025. Is that something that exists? I’m not looking to go on a course to find that out. I’m more on a fact finding mission at the moment.

The starting point is to understand the purpose of the ISO 17025 Standard, the requirements and identify the benefit for your laboratory.
To assist, begin with the article What is ISO 17025?, available at https://advisera.com/17025academy/what-is-iso-17025/
Then have a look at the free Whitepapers available at https://advisera.com/17025academy/free-downloads/, particularly
- Clause-by-clause explanation of ISO 17025:2017
- Diagram of ISO 17025 Implementation Process
- Project Plan for ISO/IEC 17025 implementation
Then there are some useful articles at https://advisera.com/17025academy/blog/, particularly
- Six key benefits of ISO 17025 implementation
- Checklist of ISO 17025 implementation steps
The ISO 17025 Toolkit at https://advisera.com/17025academy/iso-17025-documentation-toolkit/ has previews, including an Internal Audit Process Checklist you would use to populate all the requirements in (as from above) to determine the gaps and level of compliance for implementation and accreditation. You could also obtain the assessment checklist form the ISO 17025 accreditation body you would deal with.
