17025:2005 Certification Services

Listing ID #4695221

17025:2005 certification is offered by Ideal Quality Certifications. This program is essential for all laboratories that perform tests in different types of industries all over India.  The testing & calibration labs comply with industry standards in order to work with ISO 9000. ISO 17025 was developed to provide an identity to all labs that perform calibration and tests. Each decision is based on decisions that are accurate, verified, cost-effective, and semi-opinionated.
What is ISO 17025? :

• ISO 17025 was developed so that testing & calibration laboratories were recognized for their capabilities & areas of competence. All measurements and decisions should be based on accurate, repeatable, verifiable, cost effective, timely, and believable measurements, opinions, and recommendations. ISO 17025 helps assures this happens first time, every time, and on-time.
• Without these assurances, the data, opinion, and recommendations are immediately suspect, questionable, risky, and of greatly reduced value and usability.
• Customers should ensure that all data and opinions upon which they rely can be traced back through an unbroken chain of data based on ISO 17025.

Overview of ISO 17025 :

• ISO 17025 is one of the most popular quality standards for all laboratories; whether or not they do business with international customers. In 1891, British physicist Lord Kelvin wrote, “When you can measure what you are speaking about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it.? Mikel Harry, a noted Six Sigma authority, extends this thought as, “We don't know what we don’t know; we can’t act on what we don’t know; we won’t know until we search; we won’t search for what we don’t question; we don’t question what we don’t measure?. Both imply that if you failed to quantify the results of what you were doing, in a way, it means that you might not understand what you were really doing. Hence, organizations that are unable to track their processes, their products, or their raw materials are unable to fully manage their businesses.
• All other quality initiatives (eg. ISO 9001, QS-9001, TS-16949, Six Sigma, TQM, DOE, QFD, etc.) depend on reliable measurements, comparisons, and recommendations based on International Standards. ISO 17025 controls all aspects of how laboratories conduct their business (ie. who, what, when, where, how, how much, & why) of measurement, testing, certifying, recommending, & reporting.
