The Role of LIMS in Supporting ISO 17025 Accreditation

ISO/IEC17025:2017 is the international standard for testing and calibration laboratories. It sets the management and technical requirements that laboratories use to demonstrate that they operate a quality management system and that they’re technically competent to do the work that they do.

The Role of LIMS in Supporting ISO 17025 Accreditation

A key element of ISO17025 is that it requires laboratories to demonstrate that they operate competently and can generate valid results. This white paper explores the ways in which an integrated Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) can play a key role in achieving, maintaining, and benefiting from ISO17025 accreditation.

It outlines the role a LIMS plays in managing samples and the testing process, as well as managing resources and process requirements.

In this LIMS for ISO17025 white paper you will learn:

  • Managing sample handling and testing processes

  • Resources requirements including personnel, facilities, and equipment

  • Process requirements including selection of methods, sampling, reporting of results and managing non-conforming work

  • Relevant section references to find the source information in ISO17025
