Calibration Process (ISO/IEC 17025:2017)

Description

Calibration is like giving your measuring tool a check-up to make sure it's accurate and reliable.

Just like you might take your car to a mechanic for a tune-up, calibration involves comparing the measurements of your instrument to a known standard to see if any adjustments are needed.

If the instrument is not measuring correctly, it can be adjusted so that it provides accurate results.

Calibration is important because it ensures that the measurements you take with your instrument are reliable and trustworthy.

It helps you avoid errors and inconsistencies that could impact the quality of your work. Whether you're measuring dimensions, temperatures, pressures, or other quantities, calibration ensures that your instrument is performing correctly and gives you confidence in the accuracy of your results.

By regularly calibrating your instruments, you can maintain their accuracy over time and meet the requirements of quality standards and regulations.

Calibration is an essential part of quality control, ensuring that your measurements are reliable, consistent, and in line with recognized standards.

ISO 17025 is the single most important standard for calibration and testing laboratories around the world.

Laboratories/Companies that are accredited to ISO 17025 international standard have demonstrated that they are technically competent and able to produce precise and accurate results.

As you know ISO 17025 is for any organization that performs testing, sampling, or calibration.

This Standard also enables laboratories to demonstrate that they operate competently and generate valid results, promoting confidence in their work nationally and worldwide.

The 2017 version drive more confidence in laboratory operations. The ISO 17025: 2017 enables laboratories to show they perform competently and impartially.

The ISO/IEC 17025:2017 is also useful for accreditation purposes, self-assessment, or laboratory customers.

An internal audit helps a company ensure it has the proper controls, governance and risk management processes operating effectively as per ISO 17025 Standard.

simply put, an internal audit is an independent activity designed to objectively evaluate the effectiveness of an organization’s internal controls, risk & opportunity management.

After the report is complete, it is analyzed by the internal auditor to make relevant suggestions for the affected departments and management.
