3. INTRODUCTION:
PECB Webinar|September 2015 ISO/IEC 17025:2005
The purpose of this webinar is to
introduce to each participant the
concept of Laboratory
Management System and how
to initiate such based on
ISO/IEC 17025:2005.

4. ISO/IEC 17025:
PECB Webinar|September 2015 ISO/IEC 17025:2005
 Basic requirements necessary for a laboratory to be
able to implement and operate to demonstrate it is
competent
– They are not “super” requirements
– Cost (of compliance and/or Accreditation) is cost of achieving
consistently good results
– Cost of not having consistently good results could be much higher
 17025 focus is on:
– Management requirements and Technical requirements
– Annex A Cross reference to ISO 9001
– Annex B Guidelines for establishing application for sector fields

PECB Webinar|September 2015 ISO/IEC 17025:2005
 Insistence on a demonstrated commitment to
continually improve the quality management system and
identified mechanisms for achieving this. ƒ
 Greater emphasis of the need to communicate with
customers and, especially, to actively solicit feedback on
service quality and ensure the resulting information is used
as the basis of action to improve the management system. ƒ
 Greater emphasis of the need to use information from
quality control data to evaluate the performance of the
quality system and to identify opportunities for improvement.

Registration: Procedure by which a registration body
indicates relevant characteristics of a product, process of
service, or particulars of a body or person, on an appropriate
publicly available list OR procedure used to give written
assurance that a system conforms to specified requirements
Accreditation: Procedure by which an authoritative body
gives formal recognition that a body or person is competent
to carry out specific tasks
Certification: Procedure used to provide written assurance
that a product, process, service, or person’s qualifications
conform to specified requirements

10. ILAC MLA (Mutual Recognition Arrangement)GLP: Conformance Vs Compliance
PECB Webinar|September 2015 ISO/IEC 17025:2005
At the heart of ISO 17025 Implementation lies the
commitment to Good Laboratory Practice.
 Conformance: Doing what you say you are
doing and being able to prove it i.e Standard
requirements
 Non-Conformance results in a written audit
deficiency statement and requires corrective action
 Non-compliance, on the other hand,
suggests fines or legal/regulatory action i.e Legal
requirements

11. ILAC MLA (Mutual Recognition Arrangement)Thoughts on Laboratory Best Practice:
PECB Webinar|September 2015 ISO/IEC 17025:2005
 Does the laboratory ‘say’ what they do?
Do they have written documents(policies, procedures,
arrangements) that meet the requirements of ISO 17025
 Does the laboratory ‘do’ what they say?
Are they in compliance with their own quality system and ISO
17025?
 And can they ‘prove’ it with their records?
From training records to standards preparation to work books
to client reports to audit reports and more
Conformance does not always require best practices (but
optimum practices)
