'''[[ISO/IEC 17025]]''' is an [[International Organization for Standardization]] (ISO) standard used by testing and calibration laboratories to provide a basis for accreditation of laboratory quality systems. There are many commonalities with the [[ISO 9000]] family of standards, but ISO/IEC 17025 adds in the concept of competence to the equation, applying directly to those organizations that produce testing and calibration results.

ISO/IEC 17025:1999 was issued by the ISO in late 1999 and was internationally adopted in 2000. A second release was made on May 12, 2005 after it was agreed that it needed to have its wording more closely aligned with the 2000 version of ISO 9001. The most significant changes introduced greater emphasis on the responsibilities of senior management, as well as explicit requirements for continual improvement of the management system itself, particularly communication with the customer.

The ISO/IEC 17025 standard itself comprises five elements: scope, normative references, terms and definitions, management requirements, and technical requirements. In particular the management and technical requirements are the most important sections, with the management requirement section detailing the operation and effectiveness of the quality management system within the laboratory and the technical requirements section detailing the factors which determine the correctness and reliability of the tests and calibrations performed in laboratory.

"Ten simple rules for managing laboratory information"

Information is the cornerstone of research, from experimental data/metadata and computational processes to complex inventories of reagents and equipment. These 10 simple rules discuss best practices for leveraging laboratory information management systems (LIMS) to transform this large information load into useful scientific findings. The development of mathematical models that can predict the properties of biological systems is the holy grail of computational biology. Such models can be used to test biological hypotheses, guide the development of biomanufactured products, engineer new systems meeting user-defined specifications, and much more ...
