This course is intended for providing detailed knowledge and practical understanding about the auditable clauses of ISO/IEC 17025-2017 standard (General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories). This covers the general understanding of laboratory accreditation process and detailed explanation of all clauses of the standard. Apart from that understanding of audit process for this standard is also covered in details. Some of the hot spot activities of laboratory accreditation process are explained with additional elaborations, e.g. intermediate check, metrological traceability, method validation, measurement uncertainty, decision rule, root cause analysis, risk and opportunity assessment etc. Specific guidance is provided for preparation of system documents, such as quality manual, system procedure. The various important aspects of requirements of accreditation agency are also elaborated. Several quizzes are added in the course which would help participant to check their understanding of the topics covered in video lecture. Very useful downloadable materials are provided so that the users can apply these in their application such as internal audit and also gain technical knowledge. The full content of ISO/IEC 17025-2017 standard is mentioned in the audit checklist which would be a very useful reference for laboratory practitioners. At the end an assignment is added for evaluation purpose for issue of certificate which would recognize the participant as a certified internal auditor for this standard.
