Synopsis

In an era where climate change presents one of the most pressing challenges to our global community, the accuracy and reliability of data underpinning environmental research and policy decisions have never been more critical. This talk will provide a comprehensive overview of ISO 17025, detailing its development, essential components, and the significant benefits of accreditation. By exploring the accreditation process, addressing common challenges, and showcasing real-world examples, we will uncover how accredited laboratories contribute to robust climate research and effective environmental monitoring. As we explore further into the practical steps for implementing ISO 17025 and examine the latest technological advancements and future trends, this discussion will underscore the essential link between reliable laboratory data and successful climate change mitigation strategies.
