ISO 17025 Accredited Testing for Organic Contaminants: Eurolabs Laboratory Testing Services

ISO 17025 is the international standard for laboratory testing, accreditation, and calibration. It provides a framework for laboratories to demonstrate their competence and ensure that their testing and calibration results are accurate, reliable, and comparable. The standard applies to all types of laboratories, including those conducting testing for organic contaminants.

Relevant Standards

The following standards govern ISO 17025 Accredited Testing for Organic Contaminants:

  • ISO/IEC 17025:2017: General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

  • EN 15289-1:2014: Foodstuffs - Detection of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) - Part 1: PCR-based methods

  • TSE EN ISO 9001:2008: Quality management systems - Requirements

  • ASTM E2605-16: Standard practice for evaluation of laboratory performance and proficiency testing

    • International and National Standards

    The international standard, ISO/IEC 17025, is widely adopted by countries around the world. National standards, such as EN 15289-1 in Europe and ASTM E2605-16 in North America, provide specific requirements for testing and calibration.

    Standard Development Organizations

    Standard development organizations (SDOs) play a crucial role in developing and maintaining international and national standards. Some notable SDOs include:

  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO): Develops and publishes international standards

  • American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM): Develops and publishes standards for materials, products, and services

  • Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V. (DIN): Develops and publishes national standards in Germany

    • Standard Evolution and Update

    Standards evolve over time to reflect changing technologies, regulations, and market needs. SDOs continuously review and update standards to ensure they remain relevant and effective.

    Standard Numbers and Scope

    Some key standard numbers and their scope are listed below:

  • ISO/IEC 17025:2017: General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories

  • EN 15289-1:2014: Foodstuffs - Detection of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) - Part 1: PCR-based methods

    • Standard Compliance Requirements

    Standard compliance is mandatory in various industries, including:

  • Food industry: Comply with EN 15289-1 and ISO/IEC 17025 for GMO detection

  • Pharmaceutical industry: Comply with ASTM E2605-16 and ISO/IEC 17025 for quality control

    • Standard-Related Information Conclusion

    ISO 17025 Accredited Testing for Organic Contaminants is governed by a range of international and national standards. Understanding these standards is crucial for laboratories, industries, and regulatory bodies to ensure compliance and accuracy.
