More and more academic laboratories and companies running various development projects which include testing, are seeing the benefits of ISO 17025 accreditation.

Thirdly, you asked

and how I can obtain a certification for the same ISO. To show competence on potential employers."

Laboratories achieve accreditation to ISO 17025, not certification. It is also not possible for a person to be certified to ISO 17025. What is possible is to show the technical competency and operational competency of personnel who work effectively within an ISO 17025 managed laboratory system. This is done through objective evidence during training and monitoring.

If you are not working in an ISO 17025 accredited laboratory, you could develop your knowledge by working through the standard and toolkit, and attending training on the system and implementation requirements of ISO 17025.  Thereafter you can develop your skills and competency by applying the knowledge and contributing to the success of a laboratory in implementing and/or maintaining accreditation. Internal auditing, risk assessments; as well as method validation and measurement uncertainty are examples of areas where you can attend courses and obtain training certificates. Once applied in the laboratory, you can demonstrate your competency and obtain a competency declaration from management. Furthermore if you are responsible for the validity of results, as a technical signatory for your laboratory, you will also be assessed by the accreditation body. Your name may then appear on the laboratory’s accreditation certificates.
