FINAS Finnish Accreditation Service has confirmed standard SFS-EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017, General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories, as the accreditation requirement for testing and calibration laboratories as of 17.1.2018.

​FINAS has defined the following phases for the adoption of the new standard

The assessments based on the new standard will be done as part of the normal assessment visits. The laboratory may inform of the use of the new standard version in the material request form. Our goal is that all the accredited testing and calibration laboratories will be assessed based on the new standard version before the summer 2020.  All accredited testing and calibration laboratories must meet the requirements of the new standard so that the accreditation decisions based on the new standard can be made within the transition period before 30.11.2020.
