The bottom line is you have to buy the standard and read it. You can get an idea of the content of ISO 17025:2005 from reading threads here, but the actual ISO 17025:2005 standard is copyrighted so it can't be posted.

no worries, there r many free 17025 audit checklists available for you to do an initial gap analysis of your cal lab processes against 17025 requirements... good luck.

Sidney -

Thanks for the reference to the ANSI website. I noticed two download options on this site: One "ISO/IEC 17025:2005" for $97.00, and one for "ASTM ANS/ISO17025-05" that costs $57.00. Are these the same, or do I need one or the other?

Thanks

Corollax -

Have found a few check lists and they look as though they will be quite handy!

Good point! Check lists are good reference resources, especially with respect to some interpretation aspects and to some extent (some more than others - It depends upon the specific check list) what 'evidence' will be requested.

An alternative website to look at is http://www.ncsli.org

They have ANS/ISO/IEC 17025:2005.....not sure of price.....

Once you have it, read it literally.....any clause that includes the word "shall" is considered a hard requirement.....watch for clauses that require policy and procedure.....generally in those cases both policy and procedure are required rather than one or the other.....

Also, go to http://www.aplac.org and to http://www.ilac.org and download guidance series documents, as a recognized accrediting body (AB) will follow those also.....APLAC ia the Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation, and ILAC is the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation.

Two in particular to watch for are the requirement for proficiency testing and inter-laboratory comparison (PT/ILC) which is required by APLAC and ILAC.....your uncertainties must also be calculated and available.....

Hope this helps.
