What this topic covers
A public overview of competence, impartiality and consistent laboratory operation.
Core testing ideas
ISO/IEC 17025 applies to testing and calibration laboratory competence.
Accreditation scope matters because recognition is tied to specific activities.
This site summarizes public concepts and does not reproduce the copyrighted standard.
Measurement and method limits
Traceability requires documented measurement relationships, not simply a calibration sticker.
Evidence and traceability
Laboratory competence includes people, methods, equipment, environment, records and impartiality.
Using the result
Quality-control checks should detect drift or abnormal method performance before questionable results accumulate.
