ISO/IEC 17025:2017 — General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories
ISO/IEC 17025:2017 — General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories — 88% of in-scope requirements covered.
6 requirements · 4 in scope (3 enforced · 1 designed) · 2 out-of-scope (outside KYE™’s authority layer). The 88% is weighted over the in-scope base.
Source: ISO/IEC 17025:2017 specifies the general requirements for the competence, impartiality and consistent operation of testing and calibration laboratories. KYE Protocol™ governs the §7.11 control of data & information management, the §7.5/§7.8 technical-record and reporting-integrity slices, the §8 management-system records, and the impartiality/authority slice where a laboratory uses AI-supported or automated decisioning. KYE™ does not perform measurements, calibrate equipment, estimate measurement uncertainty, or assess technical competence. · License: ISO/IEC — clause text is copyrighted; KYE™ registry paraphrases each clause's intent and cites the official identifier for mapping purposes only.
