a. needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently ensure confidence in validity and reliability of measurement results and thereby to provide a consistent level of measurement quality for an organization’s products and services,

b. aims to rely on reliable and valid measurement results useful to enhance customer satisfaction and effectively apply its measurement management system processes,

c. implements processes for a measurement management system that enhance conformity with customer, statutory and regulatory requirements.

All the requirements of this International Standard are generic and intended to apply to any organization, whatever its type or size, or the products and services it provides.

This International Standard is not intended to substitute requirements for, or to add requirements to the general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories specified in ISO/IEC 17025.
