Validity of the spectrophotometric determinations and the necessity to apply the 17025:2005 Standard in order to obtain certain research results [articol]

Abstract

The implementation of the SR EN ISO 17025:2005 Standard –“Competence of the trial and calibration laboratories” has become a necessity for the laboratories that wish to generate valid results from a technical point of view. No issued result can be reliable without the compliance with the SR EN ISO 17025:2005. Thus, this study presents, by means of a concrete example, the main technical activities that need to be carried out before the spectrophotometric findings proper. The study aims to contribute to the training of the young researchers or to the consolidation of certain skills that are specific of the field of spectrophotometry.
