27、tandardization. National bodies that are members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of technical activity. ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in field
28、s of mutual interest. Other international organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the work. In the field of conformity assessment, the ISO Committee on conformity assessment (CASCO) is responsible for the development of International Standards
29、 and Guides. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2. Draft International Standards are circulated to the national bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the national bodies ca
30、sting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. ISO/IEC 17025 was prepared by the ISO Committee on conformity assessment (CASCO). It wa
31、s circulated for voting to the national bodies of both ISO and IEC, and was approved by both organizations. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO/IEC 17025:1999), which has been technically revised. EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005vi Introduction The first edition (1999) of this Inter
32、national Standard was produced as the result of extensive experience in the implementation of ISO/IEC Guide 25 and EN 45001, both of which it replaced. It contained all of the requirements that testing and calibration laboratories have to meet if they wish to demonstrate that they operate a manageme
33、nt system, are technically competent, and are able to generate technically valid results. The first edition referred to ISO 9001:1994 and ISO 9002:1994. These standards have been superseded by ISO 9001:2000, which made an alignment of ISO/IEC 17025 necessary. In this second edition, clauses have bee
34、n amended or added only when considered necessary in the light of ISO 9001:2000. Accreditation bodies that recognize the competence of testing and calibration laboratories should use this International Standard as the basis for their accreditation. Clause 4 specifies the requirements for sound manag
35、ement. Clause 5 specifies the requirements for technical competence for the type of tests and/or calibrations the laboratory undertakes. Growth in the use of management systems generally has increased the need to ensure that laboratories which form part of larger organizations or offer other service
36、s can operate to a quality management system that is seen as compliant with ISO 9001 as well as with this International Standard. Care has been taken, therefore, to incorporate all those requirements of ISO 9001 that are relevant to the scope of testing and calibration services that are covered by t
37、he laboratorys management system. Testing and calibration laboratories that comply with this International Standard will therefore also operate in accordance with ISO 9001. Conformity of the quality management system within which the laboratory operates to the requirements of ISO 9001 does not of it
38、self demonstrate the competence of the laboratory to produce technically valid data and results. Nor does demonstrated conformity to this International Standard imply conformity of the quality management system within which the laboratory operates to all the requirements of ISO 9001. The acceptance
39、of testing and calibration results between countries should be facilitated if laboratories comply with this International Standard and if they obtain accreditation from bodies which have entered into mutual recognition agreements with equivalent bodies in other countries using this International Sta
40、ndard. The use of this International Standard will facilitate cooperation between laboratories and other bodies, and assist in the exchange of information and experience, and in the harmonization of standards and procedures. EN ISO/IEC 17025:20051 General requirements for the competence of testing a
41、nd calibration laboratories 1 Scope 1.1 This International Standard specifies the general requirements for the competence to carry out tests and/or calibrations, including sampling. It covers testing and calibration performed using standard methods, non-standard methods, and laboratory-developed met
42、hods. 1.2 This International Standard is applicable to all organizations performing tests and/or calibrations. These include, for example, first-, second- and third-party laboratories, and laboratories where testing and/or calibration forms part of inspection and product certification. This Internat
43、ional Standard is applicable to all laboratories regardless of the number of personnel or the extent of the scope of testing and/or calibration activities. When a laboratory does not undertake one or more of the activities covered by this International Standard, such as sampling and the design/devel
44、opment of new methods, the requirements of those clauses do not apply. 1.3 The notes given provide clarification of the text, examples and guidance. They do not contain requirements and do not form an integral part of this International Standard. 1.4 This International Standard is for use by laborat
45、ories in developing their management system for quality, administrative and technical operations. Laboratory customers, regulatory authorities and accreditation bodies may also use it in confirming or recognizing the competence of laboratories. This International Standard is not intended to be used
46、as the basis for certification of laboratories. NOTE 1 The term management system in this International Standard means the quality, administrative and technical systems that govern the operations of a laboratory. NOTE 2 Certification of a management system is sometimes also called registration. 1.5
47、Compliance with regulatory and safety requirements on the operation of laboratories is not covered by this International Standard. 1.6 If testing and calibration laboratories comply with the requirements of this International Standard, they will operate a quality management system for their testing
48、and calibration activities that also meets the principles of ISO 9001. Annex A provides nominal cross-references between this International Standard and ISO 9001. This International Standard covers technical competence requirements that are not covered by ISO 9001. NOTE 1 It might be necessary to ex
49、plain or interpret certain requirements in this International Standard to ensure that the requirements are applied in a consistent manner. Guidance for establishing applications for specific fields, especially for accreditation bodies (see ISO/IEC 17011) is given in Annex B. NOTE 2 If a laboratory wishes accreditation for part or all of its testing and calibration activities, it should select an accreditation body that operates in accordance with ISO/IEC 17011.
