ISO/IEC 17025:2017 - General Requirements for Testing and Calibration 8.6: Improvement (Option A)

The laboratory shall find and choose opportunities to improve (drawing on its policies and objectives, what audits found, corrective actions, management review, staff suggestions, risk assessment, data analysis and how it did in proficiency testing) and carry out the actions needed. It shall ask its customers for feedback, good and bad, (for example through satisfaction surveys, records of communication and reviewing reports with customers), analyse it, and use it to make the management system, its laboratory work and its service to customers better.
