Training Introduction

The ISO 17025 & LIMS Training Course equips participants with essential knowledge of ISO/IEC 17025 requirements and the strategic use of Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) to ensure traceability, data integrity, and compliance in analytical laboratories. The course emphasizes both management and technical requirements, covering quality management systems, personnel competence, equipment calibration, and the reliability of analytical results.

Participants will learn how ISO 17025 aligns with ISO 9001 and Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) principles, while exploring practical methods to implement LIMS for supporting documentation, record control, sample traceability, and accreditation readiness. Case studies and interactive exercises will provide hands-on experience, enabling attendees to integrate LIMS into laboratory operations effectively and achieve regulatory and customer compliance.

Key Focus Areas of this Course:

  • Management requirements of ISO 17025: quality manuals, document control, suppliers, customer service, and internal audits.
  • Technical requirements: personnel competence, equipment calibration, sampling, test methods, and test certificate management.
  • Traceability and data integrity through effective LIMS implementation.
  • Laboratory accreditation principles: Accreditation Bodies (ABs), multilateral agreements, and cross-border recognition.
  • Designing and implementing a LIMS aligned with ISO 17025 standards.
  • Continuous review and improvement of laboratory management systems and LIMS.

By the end of the course, participants will understand how to integrate ISO 17025 requirements with LIMS to ensure reliable, compliant, and traceable laboratory operations.

What are the goals?

This ISO 17025 & LIMS Training Course aims to provide participants with the skills to manage laboratory quality systems effectively.

By completing the course, participants will be able to:

  • Implement Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) in their organizations.
  • Ensure quality and reliability of test and calibration results.
  • Apply traceability procedures from sample receipt to results delivery using LIMS.
  • Design and customize LIMS based on ISO 17025 requirements.
  • Continuously review and enhance LIMS systems according to market and regulatory needs.

Participants will leave with a solid understanding of both the regulatory and technical aspects required for laboratory accreditation and efficient data management.
