General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories have been developed in order to build confidence in the laboratory activities. NABL Certification and Laboratory accreditation is a procedure by which an authoritative body gives formal recognition of technical competence for specific tests / measurements, based on third-party assessment based on ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard.
The ISO/IEC 17025 standard is developed based on the ISO Guide 25. ISO 17025 Accreditation is managed by International Laboratory Accreditation Co-operation Committee (ILAC) as well as Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Co-operation Committee (APLAC) Mutual Recognition Arrangements (MRA). ILAC and APLAC are engaged in development and updating of guidelines connected with accreditation activities. Such international arrangements facilitate acceptance of test/calibration results between countries to which MRA partners represent. On accreditation of laboratory by such recognized body, the test / calibration report of laboratory gets global acceptance due to such mutual recognition.
General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratory were initially published in year 1999 and then it was revised in 2005. At present the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 version is published. The ISO 17025:2017 standard for laboratory accreditation is mainly focused on independent testing and calibration laboratories as well as laboratories of company / other laboratory.
