In short

ISO 17025 accreditation in Düsseldorf at a glance

The city plans a life-science campus with laboratory buildings next to the existing Life Science Center, and its economic development office employs a specialist for laboratory space, so lab capacity is a live topic in Düsseldorf. A laboratory that tests materials, calibrates instruments or analyses biological samples can show competence through ISO/IEC 17025: impartiality, staff competence, equipment and traceability, method validation, measurement uncertainty and reporting. It is an accreditation standard, so the national accreditation body assesses the laboratory for defined methods. Served from Sterling's Frankfurt office, Sterling prepares the laboratory and documents the system but takes no part in the assessment. Accreditation rules are outlined on the Germany page.

ISO 17025 in Düsseldorf: questions clients ask

Is ISO 17025 relevant to the new laboratory space in Düsseldorf?

It can be for laboratories that move in, because customers and regulators often want accredited results. Whether it is required depends on the tests you offer and the sector rules behind them. Ask your customers and the accreditation body which methods need accreditation.

Who accredits laboratories in Düsseldorf?

The national accreditation body, not Sterling, assesses a laboratory against ISO/IEC 17025 and grants accreditation for defined methods, as the Germany page explains. Sterling helps you prepare and document the system and train staff, then you apply directly to the body and agree the scope of accreditation with it.
