The standards published by ISO undergo changes periodically, to reflect the best-suited  practices over the changing times. ISO series of standards For a business unit to successfully set up an ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditation for Calibration And Testing Lab management systems or get maximum benefits from an established management system, auditors within the organization have to be trained to assess the system ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditation for Calibration And Testing Lab requirements. They must also be able to assess their suppliers required management system to support own Quality Initiative.

To increase professionalism, quality auditors also seek formal registration with the IAF-AB (UK & INDIA) one of the prerequisites for such registration requires the quality auditors and practitioners to successfully complete an IAF-AB (UK & INDIA) approved auditor training.

 2. OBJECTIVE OF THE COURSE ON ISO/IEC 17025
