ISO/IEC 17025 Consultancy Services

As the globalisation of the Indian economy and government policies reduce trade barriers, it’s never been more important for laboratories to be accredited to an international level of competence. ISO/IEC 17025:2017 is now a recognised hallmark for quality in laboratory management.

Commonly known as NABL accreditation in India, ISO/IEC 17025 has been embraced by the majority of laboratories, big and small – from independent laboratories to those that are part of a larger corporation. Laboratory accreditation confirms your laboratory’s compliance with this standard through third-party, independent recognition of your technical competence.

SGS offers a range of ISO/IEC 17025:2017 consultancy services and laboratory accreditation to enhance customer confidence in reliable testing and calibration services.

Who should apply for ISO/IEC 17025:2017?

ISO/IEC 17025:2017 is applicable for all laboratories in the field of calibration, testing or related sampling activities. This standard is applicable for all kinds of metrological disciplines (excluding medical laboratories, for which standard ISO/IEC 15189 is relevant).

Why should laboratories look to be accredited under ISO/IEC 17025:2017?

Accreditation establishes formal recognition by an accreditation body of your laboratory’s technical competence in accordance with internationally recognised criteria. In addition, the accredited laboratory database available on the NABL website enhances your visibility.
