Global Manager Group has prepared presentation to provide information about Calibration and Testing Laboratory Accreditation Standard - ISO 17025 and about Documentation Requirements. All the documents like quality manual, procedures, audit checklist, etc that required for the ISO 17025:2017 Accreditation process are described in details in this presentation.

2. What is ISO/IEC 17025?
The ISO 17025 standard specifies the general requirement for the ability to hold
out tests and calibration as well as sampling. The check and calibration ways
performed area unit categorized as standard, non-standard and laboratory
developed. It covers 1st, second and third party laboratories wherever testing and
calibration forms a part of scrutiny and products certification.
This international ISO 17025 standard is applicable to all or any laboratories in
spite of the amount of personnel or the extend of the scope of testing and
calibration activities. it's employed by laboratories to develop their management
system for quality, body and technical operations.

3. Changes in New Version of ISO 17025:2017
The International Organization for Standardizations (ISO) has released new
version of its Testing and Calibration Laboratory accreditation standard ISO/IEC
17025 in November, 2017. The format of the new standard has been significantly
changed to be more in line with new ISO formatting guidelines
One of the most important aspects of ISO/OEC 17025:2017 is the emergence of

 calibration periodicity
 secrecy rules
 communication Process
 instrument receipt checklist
 intermediate check frequency
