What's inside
This checklist distills ISO/IEC 17025:2017 requirements into actionable items you can verify before the auditor arrives. Each section maps directly to a clause area and includes pass/fail checks, common pitfalls, and references to supporting documentation.
15 sections covered
Who this is for
- Quality managers preparing for surveillance or accreditation audits
- Lab managers running internal readiness reviews
- Metrology teams onboarding new staff who need to understand audit expectations
- Anyone transitioning from ISO 9001 calibration clauses to full ISO 17025 compliance
How to use it
1. Print or open the PDF — work through it section by section with your team. Check off items you can verify, flag gaps.
2. Prioritize gaps — focus on nonconformities that auditors flag most often: traceability breaks, expired certificates, missing uncertainty budgets.
3. Re-run before audit day — use the checklist as a final sweep 1-2 weeks before your audit window.
