ISO 17025 is a specialized certification meant for testing and calibration laboratories. This standard takes into consideration some specific management and technical requirements. This certification signifies that the management of the calibration or testing lab is committed to successfully implement QMS that ensures the employees are technically competent to give valid results. The professionals of K&S Associates have the expertise in implementing this standard with a lot of experience of working in lab set ups of Chicago.
The Management Requirements of this standard stress on the reliability of senior management, with definite requirements for ongoing improvements of the management system, particularly, that of communicating with the customer.
