Benefits of IEC/ISO 17025 Accreditation

Accreditation is vitally important for service providers and calibration labs in every industry. Though voluntary, accreditation can often dictate the success of your business and your ability to maintain a steady stream of revenue.

Finding new ways to support the growth and quality of your business is one of your most important day-to-day concerns, so read through the benefits of accreditation for service providers and calibration labs below.

 

What is the ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation?

The ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation is used to evaluate the quality of your calibration lab. By earning this accreditation, you have official proof of the competence, accuracy, and precision of your calibrations. This internationally-accepted accreditation includes evaluations on a regular basis, so you can know that your lab meets industry standards and your clients can have confidence in the work you do.

 

Benefits

  1. More business

Dependable calibration is essential for your customers and their own success. By putting in the time and effort to gain your ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, you can show potential clients that you care about quality. Every asset owner is looking for a reliable service provider to build a long-term relationship, so the more confidence they can have in your servicing, the more likely they are to choose you as their vendor. Since additional clients offer the ability to grow and extend your reach, becoming accredited can be a significantly positive move for your business.

 

  1. A better customer experience

Happy clients lead to better business, so maintaining customer satisfaction is vital for your success. To maintain FDA compliance, asset owners are required to audit their suppliers annually for quality and accuracy. With your ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, you are already required to pass regular inspections, which saves the time and money that would usually be invested in an FDA audit. Your accreditation also support the precision of your calibrations, strengthening your clients’ compliance and their chances of passing their audits. By lessening the stresses and potential problems that often come with a vendor-asset owner partnership, you can keep your clients exceedingly satisfied with your service.

 

  1. Inclusion on metrology search engines

Relevant exposure is always important for steady business. Though advertising and word-of-mouth referrals can maintain revenue, joining a metrology search engine can significantly increase the connections you make with asset owners. With an ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, for example, service providers can join the database of our metrology search engine, Qualer Search. By joining, you gain access to a new field of asset owners and a wide range of potential clients. With more exposure and access to new potential clients, you can significantly increase your revenue and business.
