I have a copy of the DIS. However, I've been told that it is a full-fledged standard now. I haven't seen it yet, but that's what I've been told. Anyone else know whether it is a full-fledged standard yet or not?

From BSI's June magazine they are offering for sale BS EN ISO/IEC 17025 as a full standard. Does this help?

Has anyone done a comparison between Guide 25 and ISO 17025? I was wondering what differences there are between the "guide" and the "standard".

Thanks Roger & Don,

Now I am aware that 17025 is already a Final Standard.

It helped of course.For sure that as soon as I have the differences between both documents I will share with you.
