Abstract


Contemporary tendencies of standardization and accreditation of business entities are reflected through the intensive implementation of standards, which refer to different management systems: quality, environmental protection, occupational safety and health business continuity, laboratory competence, etc. Quality management in laboratories specialized for environmental testing is one of the most important requirements of modern practice. Accordingly, the standard ISO/IEC 17025 was adopted, the requirements of which confirm the technical competence of testing and calibration of laboratories. This paper discusses the implementation and maintenance of the ISO/IEC 17025 standard, as a tool for improving the quality of environmental testing, as well as the accreditation procedure, which confirms the technical competence of a laboratory.

Keywords
