Technical Consultancy Service in Quality Systems

Technical Consultancy Service in Quality Systems

The implementation of a Quality Management System involves a series of coordinated activities which are applied to a set of elements (resources, procedures, documents, organizational structure and strategies) to achieve the quality of the products or services offered to the client. That is to say, plan, monitor, and improve those elements of an organization which have an influence on client satisfaction and the achievement of the results required by the organization.

In the case of testing laboratories, the ISO 17025 establishes the general requisites to demonstrate their technical competence, with the accreditation according to this standard being a formal recognition of that competence.

The implementation and maintenance of a Quality System based on a standard such as ISO 17025 requires some very specific knowledge, practical experience, and an investment in human resources and time.
