Laboratories requiring ISO 17025 UKAS accreditation often need an experienced and specialist consultant to assist with the sometimes-complex processes required. Statius consultants have worked across a variety of different 17025 environments; some with a typical laboratory focus others less so, some integrating the 17025 system with other registrations, for instance: ISO 9001, ISO 14001 , ISO 45001 and ISO 13485 to name but a few, examples of typical assignments have included:

•  Integrating ISO 17025 and ISO 13485 for an ultra hi-technology laboratory focusing on nano technology cancer care

•  Integrating ISO 17025 and ISO 9001 for a company servicing, repairing and calibrating a range of scientific and bio-technological equipment

•  Integrating ISO 17025 and ISO 9001 for a global leader designing and manufacturing precision positioning devices, optical systems, automation solutions and components
