Laboratories use ISO/IEC 17025 to implement a quality system aimed at improving their ability to consistently produce valid results and provide assurance to customers that test data are accurate and reliable.

As the primary standard used to evaluate testing and calibration laboratories, ISO/IEC 17025 assesses a lab’s management and technical capabilities, including the operational effectiveness of its quality-management system and its policies, objectives and processes. The standard also evaluates staff competence and testing methodologies.
 
Accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025 is a process, not an end in itself. Implementing ISO/IEC 17025 challenges a laboratory's system to continuously improve quality and the technical competency of its labs and personnel.
