Why Choose an ISO/IEC 17065 Accredited Certification Body?
Accredited certification bodies are recognized for their impartiality, technical expertise, and adherence to rigorous quality standards. Working with an accredited body ensures your product certifications are credible, defensible, and widely accepted.
What Is the Difference Between ISO 17025 and ISO 17065?
ISO 17025 and ISO 17065 are both ISO standards, but they address different aspects of conformity assessment.
- ISO 17025 focuses on the technical competence of testing and calibration laboratories.
- ISO 17065 focuses on the competence of bodies that certify products, processes, and services.
In simpler terms, ISO 17025 ensures the reliability of testing and calibration results, whereas ISO 17065 ensures the reliability of certification processes.
