Should ISO 17025 accredited laboratory be certified with ISO 9001?
If I have a laboratory with ISO 17025 accreditation, Is it still a requirement to be certified with ISO 9001?

No it is not necessary unless a large organisation wishes to go for ISO 9001 ceritifcation for support departments like HR and Finance. A laboratory that is accredited to ISO 17025 conforms to the requirements of ISO 17025 clause 8, Management requirements for laboratory activities. As these are the clauses covered in ISO 9001 management, It is considered that the laboratory fulfils the intent of ISO 9001.
