ISO/IEC 17025 is the internationally recognized standard that defines the competence of calibration and testing laboratories. When a laboratory is accredited, it demonstrates documented capability to produce valid, traceable, and defensible measurement results.

Accreditation covers more than technical ability. It verifies the supporting systems, including procedure control, equipment maintenance, uncertainty calculation, proficiency testing, and impartiality.

For end users, the value is clear: certificates from accredited laboratories are not assumptions — they are evidence-based, traceable measurement results. They are recognized by regulators, auditors, and quality management systems.

Across Uganda and Rwanda, organizations rely on ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration to support compliance, ensure quality assurance, and maintain operational reliability.
