Introduction
This IACT course is designed for individuals and laboratories looking forward to their standardisation. We explain management standards defined by the ‘ISO/IEC 17025 general requirements for testing and calibration laboratories competence’ devised by ISO. This comprehensive course explains all the basic and essential requirements of the standard. It also provides a simplified clause-by-clause explanation of its four main sections.The International Organisation of Standards’ (ISO) ISO/IEC 17025:2017 protocol is designed to help laboratories achieve competence, impartiality and consistency in their operations. The requirements and conditions of ISO 17025 are applicable to all laboratories, whether they are technical, chemical or medical. To help you gain a deeper insight into this standard, experts at Exoexcellence Consultants have designed this unique course to equip you with all the essential aspects of laboratory management according to ISO 17025.
What will you learn in this course? This comprehensive course is divided into three distinct modules. The first module provides you with an understanding of the aims and objectives of IEC 17025 and the benefits of accrediting with ISO 17025:2017. It also gives an overview of Sections 4,5,6,7 and 8 of ISO/IEC 17025:2017.
The course's second and third modules provide a clause-by-clause explanation of sections 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 of ISO/IEC 17025:2017. Each topic in these modules describes the requirements of the sub-clauses in more detail. Various infographics and images are used throughout the course, making the content more exciting and appealing
