Hi, I am looking for an accreditation/registration body that covers ISO 17025 and ISO 21501? I saw some of the accreditation bodies are in US area and only cover ISO 17025, can anyone advise names of accreditation/registration bodies that can audit in Asia?

I found one which is SAC-SINGLAS in Singapore but can't find any info if they are auditing ISO 21501, any idea? Is it also appropriate if I request quotation from them during the inquiry? It is my first time to do this and not sure how the application process should be, can anyone advise? thank you for your help..

Are looking for an AB who can accredit you to ISO/IEC 17025 for testing to ISO 21501?

Hi, I am looking for AB who will accredit us for ISO 17025 and at the same time can certify our particle counter as ISO 21501 compliant? Is it possible to have both? thanks for your reply :)

You need to contact an AB for 17025 and a test/calibration lab for getting your device assessed to ISO 21501. It is very unlikely you would find one organization to do both as an AB cannot also have a lab.

ISO 21501 provides calibration methods to assure data accuracy and thus meets the requirements for clean room nonitoring as per ISO 14644.

This is not a certifiable standard, while ISO 17025 is a certifiable standard for the laboratories.

You could get your particle counter calibrated in a lab which possesses the ISO 17025 certification.

Hope that clarifies. :)

Thank you for the clarification, I have another question,please bear with me, I am new with the calibration thing and would like to understand how it goes, since ISO 21501 is not a certifiable standard, is it possible that we can claim that our equipment is ISO 21501 compliant by only adapting the methods stated without being certified to ISO 17025 yet? or it is necessary for a lab to possess the ISO 17025 first before they can adopt the new standard and claim compliance?

You are free to make whatever claims you wish. If you want to back it up with credible data - your customer may require it - then having a testing facility which is accredited (not certified) to ISO/IEC 17025 is gong to be the best route to take.

Great technical answers have already been given. Regarding the AB, go to www.aplac.org and the list of signatories will provide the ABs that may be assessing where you have the need. Some may do cross-frontier and others may not, so you will have to check with each.
