Abstract

The research aims to briefly describe how to implement the requirements established in the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard, for the competence of quality testing laboratories, highlighting the context of the Laboratory and the basic elements of risk according to the guidelines. of the ISO 31000:2018 standard. It begins with a historical review of the evolution of quality and its importance in testing laboratories, describing the basic components of the laboratory context, emphasizing external and internal factors. The necessary aspects of risk management summarized through a flowchart are addressed, highlighting risk identification, analysis, assessment and treatment. Then a brief description of the requirements for competitiveness of laboratories is made, prioritizing the process approach and risk management that is explicitly found throughout the content of the standard. Finally, the importance of using the Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) and artificial intelligence is discussed, as a tool to guarantee productivity and quality in customer results.
