Quality management is defined by [[ISO 9000]] as a set of "coordinated activities to direct and control an organization with regard to quality.” By extension, those coordinated activities require sufficient "organizational structure, resources, processes and procedures" in order to implement quality management throughout the enterprise, otherwise known as a quality system.<ref name="WHOLQMS11">{{Cite web |last=World Health Organization |date=2011 |title=Laboratory Quality Management System: Handbook |url=http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/44665/9789241548274_eng.pdf?sequence=1 |format=PDF |publisher=World Health Organization |isbn=9789241548274}}</ref> | Quality management is defined by [[ISO 9000]] as a set of "coordinated activities to direct and control an organization with regard to quality.” By extension, those coordinated activities require sufficient "organizational structure, resources, processes and procedures" in order to implement quality management throughout the enterprise, otherwise known as a quality system.<ref name="WHOLQMS11">{{Cite web |last=World Health Organization |date=2011 |title=Laboratory Quality Management System: Handbook |url=http://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/44665/9789241548274_eng.pdf?sequence=1 |format=PDF |publisher=World Health Organization |isbn=9789241548274}}</ref> | ||

Introduction
History of ISO/IEC 17025
Quality management is defined by ISO 9000 as a set of "coordinated activities to direct and control an organization with regard to quality.” By extension, those coordinated activities require sufficient "organizational structure, resources, processes and procedures" in order to implement quality management throughout the enterprise, otherwise known as a quality system.[1]
As laboratory consultancy Perry Johnson Consulting notes, the difference between the ISO/IEC 17025 standard and ISO 9001:2015 can be found in comparing the accreditation process: "ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation is recognition of a laboratory’s competence to produce technically valid results, while ISO 9001:2015 registration of a laboratory is limited to QMS conformance."[2]
How supporting quality management in the laboratory improves society
"Quality management is as applicable for the medical laboratory as it is for manufacturing and industry," states the World Health Organization (WHO) in its 2011 Laboratory Quality Management System: Handbook.[1] While the medical laboratory is better covered by ISO 15189, the WHO's statement highlights that all laboratories can benefit from implementing quality management principles.
