Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national
standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally
carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which
a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee.
International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in
the work. In the field of conformity assessment, ISO and the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) develop joint ISO/IEC documents under the management of the ISO Committee on Conformity
assessment (ISO/CASCO).
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following
URL: www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by the ISO Committee on Conformity Assessment (CASCO) and circulated
for voting to the national bodies of both ISO and IEC, and was approved by both organizations.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO/IEC 17025:2005), which has been
technically revised.
The main changes compared to the previous edition are as follows:
— the risk-based thinking applied in this edition has enabled some reduction in prescriptive
requirements and their replacement by performance-based requirements;
— there is greater flexibility than in the previous edition in the requirements for processes, procedures,
documented information and organizational responsibilities;
— a definition of “laboratory” has been added (see 3.6).

Introduction
This document has been developed with the objective of promoting confidence in the operation of
laboratories. This document contains requirements for laboratories to enable them to demonstrate they
operate competently, and are able to generate valid results. Laboratories that conform to this document
will also operate generally in accordance with the principles of ISO 9001.
This document requires the laboratory to plan and implement actions to address risks and opportunities.
Addressing both risks and opportunities establishes a basis for increasing the effectiveness of the
management system, achieving improved results and preventing negative effects. The laboratory is
responsible for deciding which risks and opportunities need to be addressed.
The use of this document will facilitate cooperation between laboratories and other bodies, and assist
in the exchange of information and experience, and in the harmonization of standards and procedures.
The acceptance of results between countries is facilitated if laboratories conform to this document.
In this document, the following verbal forms are used:
— “shall” indicates a requirement;
— “should” indicates a recommendation;
— “may” indicates a permission;
— “can” indicates a possibility or a capability.
Further details can be found in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) and IEC (the International Electrotechnical
Commission) form the specialized system for worldwide standardization. National bodies that are
members of ISO or IEC participate in the development of International Standards through technical
committees established by the respective organization to deal with particular fields of t echnical activity.
ISO and IEC technical committees collaborate in fields of mutual interest. Other international
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO and IEC, also take part in the
work. In the field of conformity assessment, ISO and IEC develop joint ISO/IEC documents under the
management of the ISO Committee on Conformity assessment (ISO/CASCO).
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO and IEC shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Details of any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the
Introduction and/or on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation on the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions related to conformity
assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the WTO principles in the Agreement on
Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following URL: Foreword - Supplementary information
ISO/IEC 17025 was prepared by the ISO Committee on Conformity Assessment (CASCO). It was circulated
for voting to the national bodies of both ISO and IEC, and was approved by both organizations.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO/IEC 17025:2005), which has been
technically revised.
The first edition (1999) of this International Standard was produced as the result of extensive
experience in the implementation of ISO/IEC Guide 25 and EN 45001, both of which it replaced. It
contained all of the requirements that testing and calibration laboratories have to meet if they wish to
demonstrate that they operate a management system, are technically competent, and are able to
generate technically valid results. ISO/IEC 17025 was aligned with ISO 9001:2000 in 2005. Since then
ISO 9001 has been revised twice.

Introduction
This International Standard has been developed with the objective of promoting confidence in the
operation of laboratories.
This International Standard contains requirements for laboratories to enable them to demonstrate they
operate competently, and are able to generate valid results.
Laboratories that conform to this International Standard will also operate generally in accordance with
the principles of ISO 9001.
This International Standard requires the laboratory to plan and implement actions to address risks and
opportunities. Addressing both risks and opportunities establishes a basis for increasing the
effectiveness of the management system, achieving improved results and preventing negat ive effects.
The laboratory is responsible for deciding which risks and opportunities need to be addressed.
The use of this International Standard will facilitate cooperation between laboratories and other bodies,
and assist in the exchange of information and experience, and in the harmonization of standards and
procedures. The acceptance of results between countries is facilitated if laboratories conform to this
International Standard.
In this International Standard, the following verbal forms are used:
- “shall” indicates a requirement;
- “should” indicates a recommendation;
- “may” indicates a permission;
- “can” indicates a possibility or a capability.
Further details can be found in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
