ISO/IEC 17025:2017Transition Template

Instructions for Using the Template

For Testing and Calibration Laboratories:

This template identifies the clauses of ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and provides UKAS’ opinion on the broad extent of any changes in requirements from ISO/IEC
17025:2005. Details of the actual changes are not provided and as such the Laboratory will need to use this template in conjunction with copies of ISO/IEC
17025:2017 and ISO/IEC 17025:2005.

It is the responsibility of the Laboratory to identify the changes between the standards, determine the impact of theseon its systems, and thenmake
andimplement any required alterations as necessary. Details of alterations made to systems should be recorded in this template and the completed
template provided to UKAS (as an MS Word document) at least 1 month prior to the transition assessment taking place. The submission of the template
should be supported by documentation demonstrating how new or changed requirements are met. Effective implementation will be assessed at the site
visit. If the Laboratory considers that it currently meets a changed requirement and does not need to make changes to its system, then this should be stated
in the template.

The information provide to UKAS should be more than just a reference to the documented procedure and should explain what has been changed and
actions taken by the laboratory. Examples of expected level of information expected from the laboratory for major and minor changes are provided below:

(Example) of competence is covered in QM-1001 pages 6-

demonstrate competence via analysis of
samples of known value or via witnessed audit
from an existing competent staff member.

All trainers and section managers have been

made aware of and given an update on the
changes (see document XYZ-001 attached)

This was in place already within our
organisation and is documented in QM-1001
page 5.

For UKAS Assessors:

After reviewing the information and documentation supplied by the Laboratory and completing the assessment to confirm appropriate implementation,you
should place your comments regarding the Laboratory’s conformity with the new requirements in this template, which forms the report for the transition.
The level of comments provided should be similar to that provided in an assessment report. If any findings are raised relating to new or changed
requirements these should be recorded in the IAR as normal but then cross-referenced in this template.

An Executive Summary and Recommendation on transition of accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 must be included at the end of this template.

 Minor – Wording of the requirement has changed but overall intent is consistent
 Major – Changes will require the CAB to implement new or change existing practice
 New – New requirement(s)/concept(s) not in previous version of the standard
