Abstract

Korea Laboratory Accreditation Scheme (KOLAS) introduces a new standard for test and calibration laboratories to operate management system and to produce valid results in accordance with the requirements of KS Q ISO/IEC 17025. The standard is based on the national standard law for the accreditation of test, inspection and calibration laboratories. International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) has recently established its new criteria. The accredited test and calibration laboratories should complete the transition of their management system by November 2020 following KS Q ISO/IEC 17025:2017. A total of 899 of test, inspection and calibration laboratories in Korea are influenced by the transition policy. This paper summarized general requirements for a competence of laboratory management system.

한국인정기구(KOLAS)는 시험 및 교정기관이 KS Q ISO/IEC 17025 요구사항에 맞추어 적절하게 운영하고 유효한 결과를 생산할 수 있도록 표준안을 제시하고 있다. 국가표준기본법(시험·검사: 시험·검사기관 인정, 교정: 국가교정제도의 확립)을 근거로 운영하고 있다. 최근, 국제시험소인정기구(ILAC)가 자격기준을 강화함에 따라 공인시험·교정기관들도 요구사항(KS Q ISO/IEC 17025:2017)에 맞추어 2020년 11월까지 전환을 완료해야 한다. 국내에서 운영되고 있는 899개 KOLAS 인정시험·검사와 교정기관이 여기에 해당된다. 여기에서는 적격성에 대한 주요 일반 요구사항을 요약하였다.
