Revised ISO/IEC 17025:2017 has been published

 The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) has released the new version of ISO/IEC 17025- General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. The main changes compared to the previous edition are : 
1. The scope has been revised to cover testing, calibration and sampling associated with subsequent calibration and testing.
2. The process approach now matches that of newer standards such as ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 15189 (quality of medical laboratories) and ISO/IEC 17021-1 (requirements for audit and certification bodies).
3. The standard has now a stronger focus on information technologies and incorporates the use of computer systems, electronic records and the production of electronic results and reports.
4. A new chapter introduces the concept of risk-based thinking.


Laboratories already accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2005 will need to transition their processes to the new version within a three-year period from the publication date of the new standard. The Joint ILAC-ISO Communiqué explains this timeframe transition.
