ISO IEC 17025:2017 Advanced Training Course for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories
Many countries worldwide rely on a process called Laboratory Accreditation as a means of determining their technical competence.
Laboratory Accreditation uses criteria and procedures specifically designed to determine technical competence. Specialized evaluators perform a thorough evaluation of all factors that may affect the results of tests or calibrations.
Program Duration: 3 Days
The requirements are based on the internationally recognized standard (ISO / IEC 17025) for testing or calibration laboratories, which are used to evaluate laboratories worldwide. Laboratory Accreditation Bodies use this standard to evaluate factors related to a laboratory’s ability to produce accurated test and calibration results, including the following:
The Laboratory Accreditation according to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 also covers the quality system elements related to the corresponding certification according to ISO 9001. To confirm the continuous compliance, the laboratories are regularly re-evaluated in order to check that they maintain the required adequacy. These laboratories participate in regular proficiency testing programs (interlaboratory programs), as part of their ongoing demonstration of competence.
Laboratory Accreditation therefore provides a means of assessing the ability of laboratories to perform specific types of tests, measurements and calibrations. It also allows the laboratory to determine if it is performing its tasks correctly and according to the appropriate standards. Manufacturing companies may also use laboratory accreditation to verify product inspections carried out in laboratories within their premises.
Laboratory accreditation provides formal and global recognition of laboratory results, thus providing customers with an easy way to find reliable testing and calibration services capable of meeting their needs.
ISO / IEC 17025 is a standard exclusively for the management and improvement of the quality of laboratories of any kind. By applying the standard, the competence of the laboratory is developed with respect to its human resources, equipment, methods and testing environment.
The training program is addressed to the administration and personnel of accredited and non-accredited laboratories and laboratories certified according to ISO 9001, who would like to learn more about the requirements of the Standard ISO / IEC 17025: 2017.

BQC adjusts its pricing policy for the unemployed and for students. Every second participation from the same company will have a 10% discount.
BQC’s Training courses can be subsidized by the Manpower Employment Organization (OAED). OAED offers companies the ability to train their staff, taking advantage of the 0.24% employer contributions. More information can be found at the OAED website.
The submission of an application for inclusion in the LAEK 0.24% program can be made no later than 10 working days before the start of the educational program.
The teaching method include lectures, internships and group collaboration.
Taking this into consideration, participants are invited to perform group and individual exercises and tasks, as well as role playing exercises, aimed at developing their skills (time management, team spirit, collaboration).
At the end, an evaluation test and a satisfaction questionnaire are distributed to the participants in order to evaluate the results of their training and the achievement of its objectives.
