Proficiency Testing and ISO 17025
The philosophy behind the quality assurance
section of ISO/IEC 17025 is to firstly ensure
that a single analyst within a laboratory is able
to consistently reproduce the same result on the
same sample. Secondly, the result produced by
this analyst should reflect the result that would
have come from any other analyst in the
laboratory. Thirdly, any results from the
laboratory as a whole should reflect the results
that are agreed upon by many other
laboratories. This is why the internal and
external QC and QA clauses exist within ISO/IEC
17025. The precise way of going about proving
consistency and reliability of analysis is not
prescribed in ISO/IEC 17025. However,
accreditation bodies have built some prescriptive
clauses into their requirements to try to
facilitate meeting the requirements of
ISO/IEC17025 in an effective manner.
