What is ISO/IEC 17025?
The term IEC stands for International Electrotechnical Commission which in cooperation with ISO creates the specific system for global standardization.

ISO/IEC 17025 has two key clauses; Management Requirements which are associated with the performance and efficiency of the Quality Management System inside the laboratory, and Technical Requirements which focus on the competencies of employees, testing methodology, equipment, and the test and calibration results.
