ISO 17025 accreditation in Toronto at a glance
Behind many Toronto certificates sits a laboratory result. A food producer needs shelf-life and microbiology data, a device developer needs biocompatibility or electrical testing, and an automotive supplier needs calibrated gauges. ISO 17025 is the standard that shows a laboratory is competent to produce those results: validated methods, traceable measurement, estimated uncertainty, impartial staff and controlled records. The Discovery District's hospitals, institutes and incubators generate outsourced testing, and the region's manufacturers do the same. Unlike most standards here, the outcome is accreditation by an accreditation body, not certification. Sterling's Toronto office prepares the laboratory for that assessment; the route is explained on the Canada page.

ISO 17025 in Toronto: questions clients ask
Who accredits a Toronto laboratory to ISO 17025?
Accreditation is awarded by an accreditation body, not by Sterling, and the national route is described on the Canada page. Sterling helps the laboratory prepare: method validation, uncertainty, traceability, personnel competence and impartiality. The accreditation body then assesses the lab on site.
Which Toronto customers push laboratories towards ISO 17025?
Food and beverage producers, device developers and manufacturers in the region commonly specify accredited testing in contracts or supplier questionnaires, since their own customers ask for traceable results. Research groups near the Discovery District also use outside labs. Read each contract to see whether accreditation to the standard, or only a quality system, is called for.
