Certification of quality system which bases on PN-EN ISO 9001:2001 even if concerns the realized range of tests is not a full confirmation of laboratory competence to produce reliable data and results. The PN-EN ISO 9001:2001 requirements are universal and can be applied for any organization, but requirements developed in collaboration of three organizations ISO, CEN, IEC in the PN-EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005 Standard entitled: “General requirements for research and testing laboratories” can be just applied in research and testing laboratories. Despite that fact, according the way for getting accreditation form many laboratories would be easier by implementation of the PN-EN ISO 9001:2001 quality system and enables the organization to involve in quality system problems.
