ISO 17025 Certification

What is ISO 17025 Certification?

ISO 17025 is a widely adopted and standardized Quality Management System (QMS) for the Aerospace industry. The aerospace community has specific requirements that need to be taken into account, and the QMS needs to incorporate these critical requirements. The ISO 17025 Certification was introduced in 1997 by the International Aerospace Quality Group (IAQG) based on the internationally recognized standard ISO 9001 in order to encourage International quality, safety, and technology standards in air transport. The certification can be applied to all areas in aviation like design and manufacture of equipment, airport and airline operations, aircraft accessory supply, spares supply, and maintenance.

ISO 17025 is the QMS principal standard utilized by various testing and adjustment labs. ISO/IEC 17025 enables laboratories to demonstrate that they operate competently and generate valid results, thereby promoting confidence in their work both nationally and around the world. This International Standard points out the general necessities that are needed to complete the tests or calibrations with samplings. It specifies the activities that must be included in laboratory operations. It helps to get the ability to produce valid and consistently reliable testing, calibration, and sampling results. Laboratories use ISO 17025 to implement a quality system aimed at improving their ability to consistently produce valid results.
