ISO/IEC 17025 

Testing & Calibration

Accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025 plays an important role in supporting the validity and reliability of results from testing and calibration laboratories across many industry sectors.

ISO/IEC 17025 facilitates international cooperation by establishing wider acceptance of laboratory test results between countries and organisations. This not only provides global confidence in the work of an organisation but also promotes national and international trade through the acceptance of test and calibration data between countries, without the need for additional testing.

ISO/IEC 17043

Proficiency Testing Providers (PTP)

ISO/IEC 17043 provides the specific requirements for the development, operation and competent operations of Proficiency Testing Providers (PTP).

From March 2024, assessments will be conducted to the requirements of the revised ISO/IEC 17043:2023 Standard.  You can find key resources and information on the Standard revisions as well as documents to help prepare you for your next assessment.

ISO 20387

General requirements for Biobanking

 ISO 20387 was developed to promote confidence in biobanks. The Standard covers requirements that allow biobanks to demonstrate their competence in being able to provide biological material and associated data that meets the needs of research and development organisations.

The Standard also includes requirements regarding the preparation and long-term preservation of samples and long-term sample traceability. The requirements additionally address considerations for biobank-specific collection and transportation procedures and, as with other ISO Standards, ISO 20387 covers both the management system and technical aspects of operation providing a multi-faceted framework for organisational health

Medical Imaging Accreditation Program (MIAP)

MIAP allows clinical radiology practices to demonstrate technical competence in all modalities offered as well as quality measures that mitigate risk and promote improvement. 

ISO 15189

MEDICAL LABORATORIES

ISO 15189 is the international standard that specifies the requirements for quality and competence of medical laboratories. As with ISO/IEC 17025, it covers both technical and management criteria which must be considered.

ISO/IEC 17020

Conformity assessment — requirements for the operation of bodies performing inspection

Inspection activities may involve the examination of a product, process, service, installation or the design and determination of its conformity with specific requirements.
