Quality systems standards such as ISO 9000 require the use of calibration and test facilities that are able to meet quality requirements. In addition, the third edition of QS-9000 requires the use of ISO/IEC 17025 accredited facilities.
The purpose of this course is to provide participants with an understanding of the background to the laboratory accreditation process, and the interrelation between QS/ISO 9000 Quality Management System Standards.
