Implementing Risk clause in food testing laboratory

In your food testing laboratory it starts with knowing the activities of critical importance - typically those tests you are accredited for, as well as for example your data and information management. Then you would do a process flow and consider where the risks may be; for example causing results to deviate. That is followed by deciding what level of risk is acceptable and taking practical actions to reduce the risk to the target level.

Have a look at section 8.5 in the Whitepaper Clause-by-clause explanation of ISO 17025:2017 available at https://info.advisera.com/17025academy/free-download/clause-by-clause-explanation-of-iso-17025/ and the ISO 17025 Toolkit preview at https://advisera.com/17025academy/iso-17025-documentation-toolkit/; which includes a procedure and registry for Risks.
