Prepare your testing or calibration laboratory for ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation with a management system built around your real methods, equipment, people, records, and technical activities. We help you address both management-system and technical competence requirements without creating unnecessary complexity.
Tell us a little about your laboratory, testing or calibration scope, and accreditation goals.
ISO/IEC 17025 is not simply a documentation standard. Accreditation depends on demonstrating laboratory competence: valid methods, capable personnel, suitable equipment, metrological traceability, reliable results, and effective management controls. We help connect all of those requirements into one workable system.
Compliancehelp has unusually strong ISO/IEC 17025-specific client evidence. These examples show three outcomes laboratories care about most: meeting a demanding timeline, passing assessment cleanly, and getting the technical and management requirements right without doing unnecessary work.
Demartek began after realizing they were heading in the wrong direction on their own. Compliancehelp helped adapt existing processes, identify what was actually needed, and meet a timeframe other consultants would not commit to. They achieved ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation in under three months.
“Every step of the way with Compliancehelp was painless… we had our full assessment done within 90 days. We passed with zero non-conformances.”
“Andrew was instrumental in helping us get ISO 17025 certified… We presented him with a tight timeline and he was able to help us achieve our goal.”

We understand that ISO/IEC 17025 combines management-system requirements with evidence of technical competence. We help laboratories build a system that assessors can follow and laboratory personnel can actually maintain.
Decades of practical ISO implementation experience, including testing and calibration laboratories with specialized technical scopes.
We develop the laboratory system with your team instead of handing you generic procedures and leaving you to interpret the technical requirements.
We focus effort where it matters: your scope, methods, personnel competence, equipment, traceability, technical records, quality controls, and assessment evidence.
Internal audits, management reviews, corrective action, scope expansion, transition support, and ongoing ISO/IEC 17025 assistance are available when needed.
We keep the process practical and focused on getting your organization ready for an independent accreditation assessment.
We understand your testing or calibration activities, methods, facilities, equipment, personnel, customers, and intended accreditation scope.
We identify what is already in place and where gaps exist in competence, methods, equipment, traceability, records, quality assurance, impartiality, and management controls.
We develop practical procedures, records, responsibilities, and controls around your actual laboratory activities and help your team implement them.
We help ensure objective evidence is available, complete internal audit and management review activities, and address gaps before the accreditation body assessment.
We prepare your team for the accreditation assessment and help address findings so your laboratory can move efficiently toward accreditation.
The exact scope is tailored to your organization, but a full implementation can cover the core activities needed to establish, implement, and prepare your laboratory management system for accreditation.
ISO/IEC 17025 is the internationally recognized standard for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. Accreditation provides independent confidence that a laboratory is technically competent to perform the activities within its accredited scope and can produce valid results.
Show customers and stakeholders that laboratory competence has been independently assessed against an internationally recognized standard.
Meet customer, government, industry, or program requirements where accredited testing or calibration is required.
Control methods, equipment, traceability, personnel competence, technical records, and quality assurance of results systematically.
Create clear responsibilities and evidence so laboratory activities remain controlled as personnel, methods, equipment, and scope evolve.
For laboratories, the correct term is generally accreditation. An accreditation body assesses the laboratory’s management system and technical competence for a defined scope of testing or calibration activities.
Timing depends on your laboratory’s scope, number and complexity of methods, personnel competence, equipment, traceability arrangements, existing documentation, proficiency testing or other quality-control evidence, and accreditation-body scheduling. Some Compliancehelp clients have completed the process in only a few months.
Yes. ISO/IEC 17025 requires both. We help structure the evidence and controls around personnel competence, methods, equipment, metrological traceability, environmental conditions, technical records, validity of results, and other applicable technical requirements.
Laboratories need appropriate methods for monitoring the validity of results. Proficiency testing or interlaboratory comparison may be required or appropriate depending on the activity, accreditation-body requirements, availability, and the laboratory’s quality-assurance plan.
Yes, where measurement uncertainty is applicable to the laboratory’s activities. The specific approach depends on whether you perform calibration, testing, or sampling and on the method and accreditation scope.
Yes. We can help laboratories prepare for additional methods, equipment, personnel authorizations, documentation, technical evidence, and assessment associated with scope expansion.
Much of the management-system development, documentation, record review, meetings, and audit preparation can be performed remotely. Onsite support can be valuable where direct review of laboratory activities, equipment, facilities, or methods is appropriate.
No. Compliancehelp provides consulting and implementation support. Formal accreditation is granted following independent assessment by a recognized laboratory accreditation body.
Cost depends on your laboratory’s scope, number of methods, technical complexity, existing system, locations, and level of support required. Request a free quote and we can provide a tailored scope and price.
Build a practical laboratory management system around your actual testing or calibration activities — with experienced consultants guiding you through technical requirements, implementation, internal evaluation, and accreditation readiness.
