ISO 17025 Asbestos Accreditation
ISO 17025 is a globally recognised standard. It focuses on the competence of testing laboratories and plays a pivotal role in demonstrating competence, reliability and accuracy.
By obtaining ISO 17025 accreditation, testing laboratories can demonstrate to customers, regulators and stakeholders that they have the technical capability to produce valid and reliable results. Accredited laboratories are also recognised as having a quality management system focused on continuous improvement and customer satisfaction. In the context of asbestos testing laboratories, ISO 17025 provides a comprehensive framework for demonstrating technical competence, method validation, traceability and quality assurance.
