ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 in Relation to the Automotive Industry

Overview

Delivered in-house, this interactive and practical foundation course is designed to provide delegates with a basic knowledge of the requirements and interpretations of ISO/TS 16949 relating to in-house and external laboratories.

ISO/IEC 17025:2005 is the internationally recognised standard relating to the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. It specifies criteria for the development and assessment of management systems and laboratory technical controls that provide confidence in the results obtained. The standard can be applied to a wide range of laboratory activities including analytical, clinical, forensic, destructive/non-destructive testing and instrument/equipment calibration.

Course Objectives

ISO/TS 16949 specifies certain requirements for 'in-house' laboratories and that external laboratories are compliant with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025. Our course will acquaint delegates with the specific requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 as well as Laboratory Accreditation requirements.

Key Skills / Learning Objectives

Through the combination of interactive tutorials and workshops, our course will enable the delegates to:

• Interpret the basic requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 as it relates to the automotive industry and ISO/TS 16949.
