Modern Analytical Laboratory Management, Operations, Analytical Instrumentation Equipment Safety and Quality ISO 17025-2017

Analytical Laboratory in petroleum production and processing companies has a complex nature since it deals with different types of samples oil water and gas. It must have a strong management and safety system to maintain the work in it. The main goal is to learn about ISO/IEC 17025-2017, its Principles and what it requires of laboratory staff and apply it. Making the decision to implement ISO/IEC 17025-2017 can be critical to the overall success of a laboratory. However, the manner with which it is implemented is even more crucial, because if properly done, it will literally enable the company to meet the highest standards for its customers. It will also provide universal assurance that its data and service quality will consistently meet these expectations, resulting in worldwide acceptance of your laboratory’s test results and providing legally defensible data to your clients.
