Testing laboratories and inspection bodies – new CD collection of ISO/IEC Standards and guides


A new CD is available containing all International Organization for Standardization (ISO)/International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) international Standards and guides for testing laboratories and inspection bodies.

Testing is a major conformity assessment activity and also provides the basis for other conformity assessment processes such as product certification and inspection. Conformity assessment is the process used to demonstrate that products, services, materials, management systems, personnel, and organisations meet specified requirements.

Laboratories and inspection bodies (CD version), ISO/IEC 17025 CD pack, contains 10 Standards and guides (plus a corrigendum). They include the general requirements for laboratories in order for them to be considered competent to carry out testing, calibration, and sampling. These criteria are contained in General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories, NZS ISO/IEC 17025:2005. An estimated 40,000 laboratories worldwide are accredited to ISO/IEC 17025.
