Most Consultants Have It Wrong!
They focus on the ISO 17025 standard and not the laboratory.
ISO 17025 accreditation is great, but if your quality manual is too difficult for you to follow, it is problem. All I care about is that your quality manual reflects how your laboratory truly operates.

I’ll analyze your quality management system, find the areas that need to be improved and come up with a game plan to get your ISO 17025 accreditation.

Before I take you on as a client, I want you to read about my services, because they’re the results you can expect…
Quality Management System
The key element to you getting ISO 17025 accredited is your quality management system. It all begins with your quality manual and standard operating procedures. When you hire me, I will create a quality manual that is unique to your laboratory.
We will begin with discussions and interviews to learn how your laboratory actually operates. With this information, I will create an easy to read and use quality manual that meets the ISO 17025 standard and reflects the processes you are already performing.
When your processes do not meet ISO 17025 requirements, I will offer you suggestions for improvement to get you complaint. When we agree on the improvements, I will write these processes into your quality manual and standard operating procedures.
When you hire me to get you ISO 17025 accredited, I will take on 100% of the workload and provide you with a unique quality manual, standard operating procedures, and forms so you can become ISO 17025 accredited by your accreditation body of choice without any of the stress and headaches.
As a bonus, I will also provide you with all of the original files in MS Word so that you can edit them yourself. This is especially important when you need to make revisions and updates. There will be no need to call me again; you can revise your quality manual yourself.
Again, when you hire me, I will perform 100% of the work. I just need you to focus on preparing for your ISO 17025 assessment. However, you will not have to do it alone. I will be there to help. I will answer any questions that you may have and offer guidance to help you prepare. Plus, I will give you a copy of my guide, 23 Must Have Items to Survive An ISO 17025 Accreditation Audit.
Measurement Uncertainty Analysis
Measurement uncertainty analysis is one of the most difficult tasks laboratories encounter when getting ISO 17025 accredited. It’s probably why it is one of the top 10 deficiencies! With my expertise, software, and tools, I can make measurement uncertainty analysis stress free.
As your consultant, I will collect and analyze all of the calibration data for your laboratory equipment. Then, I will review all of your test and calibration methods. Next, I will have you perform repeatability and reproducibility testing to collect your type A data. Afterward, I will conduct any additional research to find significant contributors to measurement uncertainty for your measurement processes (so you do not have to).
With all of this information, I will perform measurement uncertainty analysis and provide you with custom reports that will give you uncertainty budgets and CMC uncertainty statements for you ISO 17025 Scope of Accreditation. To make things easier, your reports will even so you how to add your CMC uncertainty statements to your scope of accreditation.
As a bonus, I will even provide your measurement uncertainty budgets in MS Excel, so you can make future updates to them yourself. Plus, I will give you a copy of my exclusive guide: 7 Steps to Calculate Measurement Uncertainty. Finally, I will show you how to use my uncertainty calculators so that you can demonstrate to your assessors that you know how to calculate measurement uncertainty.
I want to make sure that you are prepared to become ISO 17025 accreditation.
Measurement Traceability
The most common deficiency in ISO 17025 accreditation is measurement traceability. You would not believe how many laboratories get cited for this deficiency. It’s mind-blowing!
All it takes is one bad calibration report to get a deficiency for measurement traceability. Trust me when I tell you that assessors are pretty good at finding these easy hits, and I promise you that they are checking your calibration reports. It is probably why it is the number one deficiency.
As your consultant, I will review each and every one of your calibration reports to verify you have measurement traceability. When I identify areas where you do not have measurement traceability, I will help you find a laboratory that can provide you traceable calibrations so you can become ISO 17025 accredited.
Additionally, I will teach you how to check your calibration reports yourself. Plus, I will give you my exclusive tips and advice to help prepare your calibration reports for your ISO 17025 assessment.
Don’t fall victim to the number #1 deficiency in ISO 17025 accreditation. It could delay your accreditation by up to 4 months. Seriously! Plus, you will have to write nonconformance reports, perform a root cause analysis, and implement corrective actions. All of which wastes your time and costs you more money.
Proficiency Testing
To be ISO 17025 accredited, you are required to participate in a proficiency testing program. As my client, I will provide you with exclusive access to some of the best proficiency testing programs available.
Together, we will choose the proficiency testing provider that is right for you. Where available, I will introduce you to proficiency testing providers who will create your proficiency testing schedule for you and submit your testing results to your accreditation body automatically (so you do not have to).
If there are not proficiency testing programs available for your tests and calibrations, I will help you establish an interlaboratory comparison scheme with partnering laboratories who will help you meet ISO 17025 requirements. Plus, I will teach you how to analyze your own interlaboratory comparison results in accordance with ISO 17043 requirements so that you can become ISO 17025 accredited.
Finding and establishing a proficiency program can be a challenge for many laboratories. If you are one of those laboratories, contact me to see how I can help you.

My consulting services are not for you if…
1. You want to spend all of your time learning and trying to implement an ISO 17025 quality system yourself.
2. You’re not willing to move fast or are uninterested in new and innovative tactics.
3. You’d rather use your own in-house team (and you’re happy to foot the bill for $20,000 of training and man-hours, and you want to send your team to the “must attend” conferences every year to keep up with the tools, strategies, and techniques that will keep you ahead).
On the other hand, if you’re looking for someone to take away all the stress of your ISO 17025 accreditation, with an inclusive, done-for-you service, I’ll be a good fit. You’ll become part of an exclusive group of clients that get access to the most tested developments in the industry, and I will take care of everything.
