ISO 17025-2017. How to comply? “Laboratory activities shall be undertaken impartially…”

by Stepan Reut

ISO 17025-2017. 4.1.1 “Laboratory activities shall be undertaken impartially and structured and managed so as to safeguard impartiality.”

This is an easy-to-address requirement. You can add this statement to your Quality Assurance Manual (QAM) or to an Impartiality SOP. The document should address the commitment of the laboratory management and the laboratory employees to impartiality. New employees need to have training on ethics and impartiality as a part of their employment package and sign that they will act impartially.
