Introduction

ISO 17025 & LIMS Training Course equips analytical laboratories with the knowledge to align quality systems with international standards while leveraging digital solutions for efficiency. This ISO 17025 & LIMS Training Course focuses on management and technical requirements, ensuring laboratories maintain competence, accuracy, and reliability of analytical results.

Participants will explore how Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) support ISO 17025 compliance, particularly in achieving full traceability from sample receipt to reporting. The course also highlights alignment with ISO 9001 and Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), helping laboratories meet regulatory expectations and accreditation standards.

By combining ISO 17025 requirements with LIMS implementation strategies, this training course enables professionals to strengthen quality assurance, improve data integrity, and ensure consistent laboratory performance. It provides practical insights into designing, implementing, and continuously improving LIMS within analytical laboratory environments.

What are the Goals?

ISO 17025 & LIMS Training Course objectives focus on strengthening laboratory compliance, traceability, and data management through structured systems and best practices. Participants will gain both conceptual understanding and practical application skills.

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to understand ISO 17025 requirements and effectively apply LIMS solutions to support laboratory operations and accreditation goals.

  • Understand and implement Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) within analytical laboratories
  • Ensure the quality and validity of test and calibration results
  • Apply full traceability across laboratory workflows using LIMS
  • Design Laboratory Information Management Systems based on ISO 17025 requirements
