ILAC Extends Deadline for ISO/IEC 17025 Transition to June 1, 2021

As a result of the recent referendum, the transition period for ISO/IEC 17025:2017 has been extended to 1 June 2021, due to the global impact of the coronavirus and subsequent health and safety measures implemented by most economies. The extension will ensure all accreditation bodies and the accredited laboratories are able to achieve the remaining transitions in a robust manner.  If you are interested in viewing the original ILAC-ISO Communiqué, you can see it here.
