Purpose

This matrix maps every clause of ISO/IEC 17025:2017 to the section of the Quality Manual that addresses it, the procedures that implement it, and the forms, checklists and records that evidence it. It is used to navigate the system during assessments and audits, to check that every requirement is covered when documents change, and as the index of the document pack presented to assessors. Keep it aligned with FRM-01 when documents are added, renumbered or withdrawn.

Before you use it

  • Replace every square-bracket token, starting with [LABORATORY NAME], [ADDRESS] and [EFFECTIVE DATE]. The full token list is in GD-01 Read Me First.
  • Have the content technically reviewed against how your laboratory actually works, then approved by the responsible manager before it becomes a controlled document.
  • Update the Word fields after editing so the table of contents and page numbers are correct: select all, then press F9.
  • Record the document in your own document register and set its review date.
