Abstract
Accreditation is
a quality infrastructure established to reinforce reliability and validity of
efforts exerted by conformity assessment organizations and their conformity
confirmation documents issued as a result of such efforts (experiment and
examination reports, calibration certificates, management system documents,
product documents, staff documents etc.). Since accredited organizations are
obliged to act in line with acknowledged standards, laboratories have to comply
with current standards for tests and analyses. Activities undertaken in line
with the standards enhance competitiveness in both domestic and international
terms since they have to comply with conditions set out by such standards. They
also lower costs and increase profitability. While businesses adopt TS EN
ISO/IEC 9001, laboratories, on the other hand, opt for TS EN ISO/IEC 17025, an
indicator of authorization to perform tests. This standard is divided into two
main sections. First is the management conditions while second is technical
features including physical conditions of laboratories and feasibility of
methods TS EN ISO/IEC 17025 standard has been drawn up for laboratories to
improve their management systems in quality, administrative and technical
procedures. This standard safeguards the reliability of tests performed by
forensic laboratories with such a standard, and the impartiality of expertise
services and conformity with standards. This study offers an insight into
requirements for TS EN ISO/IEC 17025, and advantages accorded to forensic
laboratories that adopt this standard.
