What are the Benefits of Accreditation?

As with any well constructed standard, ISO 17025 is not to be considered as an unnecessary imposition on your time and efforts. It is designed to be help you improve, and then maintain, your quality and standards. By following the procedures and methods specified, everyone can be assured of the accuracy and integrity of your laboratory. However, you will have to continually monitor your quality processes to ensure that they continue to meet the guidelines of this standard. This is a good thing for everyone, remember: rigorous quality processes equate to fewer failures and errors.
It is also important to remember that as more calibration laboratories become accredited, correlation between these accredited laboratories’ measurements will improve, thereby improving the general quality of the measurement process everywhere.
