4. Laboratory organization

In this chapter, we address the various aspects of the metrology laboratory's general organization in terms of quality management, administrative operation and the various technical requirements necessary to ensure the production of technically valid results. These organizational aspects are also the key to the metrology laboratory's voluntary application for accreditation by a certified body. In this case, the day-to-day implementation of its organization will enable it to provide proof of its management system, the technical competence of its staff and the conformity and technical validity of the measurements and results it produces.

All aspects governing the operation and organization of a metrology laboratory are contained and detailed in the international standard ISO/CEI 17025, on which accreditation bodies base their recognition of the competence of testing...
