Who should implement ISO/IEC Standard 17025?

• Analytical testing laboratories of companies or organizations who are registered to an ISO 9000 based standard, if laboratory activities are subject to an audit.
• Testing laboratories which want to prove to their clients that the analyses are done within a well recognized quality system.
• Direct suppliers to organizations that require 17025 certification, such as TS 16949.
• Laboratories getting official accreditation status by an accreditation body, for example by A2LA
• All regulated laboratories can use ISO 17025 as a basis for their operations since the US FDA is implementing it in their labs, and recognize it when they conduct their FDA audits
