The International Organization for Standardization, also known as ISO, is a regulatory body that develops
and publishes widespread quality control standards for a variety of industries and product categories. The
ISO standards catalog currently lists over 23,111 International Standards. Many organizations are motivated
to attain ISO certifications because compliance with the standards provide guarantees to customers that a
company is adhering to the highest international quality control criteria. Companies looking to achieve ISO
accreditation must meet strict accreditation guidelines and reviews to certify that they are complying with
the international standard.
Quality Control with ISO/IEC 17025
An ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation signifies to customers that a company is demonstrating a continued commitment
to quality control. ISO/IEC 17025 is the specific accreditation that is useful for any organization that
performs testing, sampling, or calibration, and wants reliable quality control results. ISO/IEC 17025 is
used to certify all different types of laboratories, whether they are privately owned or operated by the
government. This quality control accreditation is also useful to universities, research centers, regulators,
and inspection bodies. The 17025 accreditation enables national and international laboratories to
demonstrate to customers that through competent quality control, they are generating valid reporting
results. According to the ISO website, “It [ISO 17025] also helps facilitate cooperation between
laboratories and other bodies by generating wider acceptance of results between countries. Test reports and
certificates can be accepted from one country to another without the need for further testing, which, in
turn, improves international trade.”
