Full title and description

O’z DSt ISO/IEC 17025:2007 — National adoption of ISO/IEC 17025 for general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories, published as an Uzbek national standard in 2007. It specifies the quality management and technical requirements laboratories must meet to demonstrate they operate competently and can generate technically valid results.

Abstract

This national standard is the Uzbek adoption of the international standard ISO/IEC 17025 (original international edition issued in 2005). It sets out the management and technical requirements for laboratories performing tests and calibrations, including sampling when it is part of testing or calibration. The standard covers organizational, procedural, personnel, equipment, environment, traceability, measurement uncertainty, and reporting requirements to ensure consistent and reliable laboratory results.

General information

• Status: National adoption of an international standard (adopted 2007). May be superseded by later adoptions aligned to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 in some jurisdictions; check current national catalogue for latest status.
• Publication date: 2007 (national adoption date)
• Publisher: Uzbek national standards body (national designation O’z DSt)
• ICS / categories: 03.100 (standardization and related activities); 13.040 (laboratory equipment and techniques); 11.100 (metrology and measurement)
• Edition / version: Adoption of ISO/IEC 17025 (2005) published as O’z DSt ISO/IEC 17025:2007
• Number of pages: Typically around 20–30 pages (matches the length of ISO/IEC 17025:2005); exact page count depends on national print version.

Scope

The standard applies to all organizations performing laboratory activities, whether full laboratories, separate laboratory units, or organizations that include testing and/or calibration as part of their activities. It is applicable to all types of testing and calibration, including sampling when it is part of the testing or calibration process. It does not apply to informal or non-documented testing where competence and consistency are not required.

Key topics and requirements

• Laboratory management system requirements (document control, record keeping, internal audits, management review, corrective and preventive actions).
• Organizational structure, impartiality and confidentiality obligations.
• Personnel competence, training, and authorization.
• Facility and environmental conditions that affect testing and calibration.
• Equipment management: calibration, maintenance and traceability.
• Sampling procedures and handling of test and calibration items.
• Testing and calibration methods, validation and verification of methods.
• Measurement traceability and estimation of measurement uncertainty.
• Quality assurance of test and calibration results, including use of reference materials and proficiency testing.
• Reporting results, including content, statements of conformity, and handling of opinions and interpretations.

Typical use and users

Used by testing and calibration laboratories seeking to demonstrate technical competence and reliable results, including medical, environmental, industrial, chemical, materials, and calibration laboratories. Also used by accreditation bodies assessing laboratories, regulatory agencies referencing laboratory competence, and organizations requiring validated testing results from suppliers and subcontractors.

Related standards

ISO/IEC 17025 is related to and often used alongside ISO 9001 (quality management systems), ISO/IEC 17020 (inspection bodies), ISO 15189 (medical laboratories), ISO 10012 (measurement management systems), and relevant sector-specific standards and guides on sampling, measurement uncertainty, and proficiency testing.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: It is the Uzbek national adoption of ISO/IEC 17025 (adopted in 2007) specifying general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers both management system requirements and technical requirements needed to produce valid test and calibration results, including personnel, facilities, equipment, methods, traceability, uncertainty, and reporting.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Testing and calibration laboratories across sectors, accreditation bodies, regulators, and organizations that require reliable laboratory results use this standard to define and assess competence.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: O’z DSt ISO/IEC 17025:2007 reflects the 2005 edition of ISO/IEC 17025 adopted in 2007. The international standard was revised in 2017, and many national adoptions have since aligned to ISO/IEC 17025:2017. Users should verify the current national standard status with the Uzbek standards authority to confirm whether a newer adoption exists.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It is part of the family of ISO/IEC standards addressing conformity assessment and laboratory competence; it aligns with other conformity assessment and quality management standards but is not a sequential series itself.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Laboratory competence, calibration, testing, measurement uncertainty, traceability, accreditation, quality management, O’z DSt, ISO/IEC 17025
