Assessment to the Requirements of ISO/IEC 17025
Course Price: $349
Target Learner:
Laboratory Managers, Auditors, and Technicians
Course Description:
Assessment to the Requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 builds upon the foundational concepts introduced in Introduction to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for Technicians. Rather than focusing solely on understanding the standard, this course explains how laboratories evaluate conformity with its requirements through structured assessment activities.
Participants learn the complete assessment process, including planning, conducting, documenting, and following up on laboratory assessments. The course examines auditor responsibilities, technical interviews, observations, documentation review, nonconformity reporting, corrective action, accreditation body expectations, and continual improvement. Learners also gain practical insight into how experienced assessors interpret ISO/IEC 17025 requirements during real laboratory assessments. This reflects the course content covering audit planning, assessment activities, documentation, corrective action, ISO/IEC 17025 clauses, and additional accreditation body requirements.
Rather than viewing assessments as inspections designed to find mistakes, participants learn to recognize assessments as valuable tools for strengthening laboratory competence, improving quality management systems, and supporting continual improvement.
