Strategic collaboration strengthens laboratory competence, technical reliability, and international accreditation readiness.
LICO, a dedicated lithium-ion battery testing laboratory, partnered with Global Quality Services to receive professional consulting support for ISO 17025 accreditation. This collaboration reflects LICO’s commitment to enhancing laboratory quality systems, ensuring technical accuracy, and aligning its testing and calibration processes with globally recognized standards.
ISO/IEC 17025 is the international standard that specifies the general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. The accreditation confirms that a laboratory operates with validated methods, technically qualified personnel, calibrated equipment, and a robust quality management framework.
Through this engagement, Global Quality Services will guide LICO across the complete ISO 17025 accreditation lifecycle, from initial gap assessment to final accreditation readiness.
Why ISO 17025 Accreditation Matters for Laboratories
In today’s competitive and compliance-driven environment, ISO 17025 accreditation has become essential for laboratories operating in manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, food testing, environmental analysis, engineering, and research sectors.
The accreditation demonstrates technical competence and ensures that laboratory results are accurate, traceable, and internationally accepted. Regulatory bodies, clients, and global markets increasingly require ISO 17025 accreditation as a prerequisite for approvals, vendor registration, and contractual engagement.
Accredited laboratories must demonstrate:
- Technically competent and trained personnel
- Validated testing and calibration methods
- Equipment calibration and measurement traceability
- Controlled laboratory environment and quality procedures
- Risk-based thinking and continual improvement mechanisms
For clients and stakeholders, ISO 17025 accreditation provides confidence that test reports and calibration certificates are reliable, reproducible, and compliant with international benchmarks.
LICO’s Commitment to Laboratory Excellence
By pursuing ISO 17025 accreditation, LICO reinforces its strategic focus on operational accuracy, regulatory compliance, and quality assurance. The initiative supports enhanced process discipline, improved documentation control, structured internal audits, and performance monitoring across laboratory operations.
A representative from LICO stated, “This partnership reflects our commitment to strengthening laboratory systems and ensuring that our testing and calibration services meet international standards. ISO 17025 accreditation will enhance reliability, credibility, and client trust.”
Scope of Global Quality Services Engagement
Under the agreement, Global Quality Services will deliver structured and practical ISO 17025 consulting tailored to LICO’s laboratory scope and operational environment. The engagement includes:
- Detailed gap assessment against ISO 17025 requirements
- Development and alignment of quality manuals, procedures, and technical documentation
- Method validation and uncertainty evaluation support
- Implementation guidance and staff awareness sessions
- Internal audit planning and management review facilitation
- Accreditation body coordination and final audit readiness support
This approach ensures that ISO 17025 implementation is embedded into LICO’s daily laboratory processes rather than treated solely as a documentation requirement.
