Abstract

In the latest revision of the ISO/IEC 17025


standard, General requirements for the competence
of testing and calibration laboratories, published in
2017, the concept of risk-based thinking was
introduced in its requirements. Although the new
version introduces the concept, procedures to be
adopted for the implementation of risk
management in testing and calibration laboratories
are not addressed. The article is conceptual in
nature and summarizes information from the
literature to assess the application of reputable risk
management models and implement them in
laboratories. Furthermore, it includes discussions
on the implementation of risk management in the
daily laboratory operations in a practical and
effective way as per the requirements of ISO/IEC
17025.
