Updating ISO/IEC 17025

Protocol established by the International Organization for Standardization requires that all ISO documents be reviewed roughly every five years to ensure that documents maintain their usefulness. The review determines whether:

• The document should be cancelled and withdrawn because it has ceased to serve its intended purpose, or
• The document continues to serve a need, and no modification is required or justified before it's reissued, or
• A need continues to exist, but the document should be amended to better serve users and stakeholders before it's reissued.
