Both ISO\/IEC 17025 and ISO 9001 have requirements and meet the specific needs of industries across the board. First, let\u2019s look at the similarities and differences between the two.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What is ISO 9001<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">ISO 9001 <\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">is defined<\/span><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0as the international standard that specifies requirements for a quality management system (QMS). Organizations use the standard to demonstrate the ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements. ISO 9001 is a standard that a company is certified in.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What is ISO 17025<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">ISO\/IEC 17025<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0is the highest quality management system and the primary standard for calibration laboratories. This standard is intended to be used as a requirement for the competence, impartiality, and consistent operation of testing and calibration laboratories of all sizes or numbers of employees, regardless of industry.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It applies only to bodies implementing a certification service.

It\u2019s an effective tool for management but does not include the necessary technical content to show that test\/inspection\/calibration data are reliable.
