In an ever more competitive marketplace and with forensic science undergoing unprecedented levels of scrutiny it is increasingly important for organisations to be able to demonstrate their technical competence and the validity of the processes they use. In addition The Forensic Science Regulator has chosen UKAS accreditation as part of his Standards Framework and has made it a firm requirement that providers of forensic science to the CJS gain ISO17025 accreditation.
| Aim: | To facilitate delegates’ understanding of the requirements of ISO17025 within a forensic science context and to provide an understanding of the roles of the quality manager and technical management. |
