Introduction

Laboratories using ISO/IEC 17025

The scope section of ISO/IEC 17025 indicates that the standard "is applicable to all organizations performing laboratory activities, regardless of the number of personnel." Further, in its terms and definitions section, the standard states that a laboratory—for the purposes of the document—is a "body that performs one or more of ... testing, calibration, [and] sampling, associated with subsequent testing or calibration." Of course, these types of activities occur in a wide variety of industry contexts, including environmental science, forensic science, food and beverage manufacturing, and more.
