INSTITUTE FOR STANDARD AND QUALITY DEVELOPMENT STUDIES
The Testing Laboratory Support Program provides organizations and enterprises with an opportunity to update legal requirements, progressively improve their management systems in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025:2017, and enhance their testing capabilities. Through training programs, technical consulting, webinars, and management system assessments, ISSQ Quality Institute accompanies organizations in identifying their needs and developing an appropriate implementation roadmap.
As requirements for testing competence and quality management continue to receive increasing attention, updating legal regulations and implementing ISO/IEC 17025:2017 have become essential for testing laboratories.
With the objective of supporting organizations in improving their management systems and strengthening operational capability, the Institute for Standards and Quality Development Research (ISSQ Quality Institute) has launched the 2026 Testing Laboratory Support Program, featuring a wide range of practical support activities. Join ISSQ Quality Institute to explore the program details and learn how to register for participation.
In 2026, testing laboratories are expected to proactively update legal requirements while continuously improving their management systems and technical competence to ensure that testing results are reliable, accurate, and appropriate for their scope of activities. Key requirements include:
Monitor, study, and implement the requirements specified in Decree No. 14/2026/ND-CP, Decree No. 22/2026/ND-CP, and other relevant legal documents.
Meeting legal requirements, management system requirements, and technical competence requirements simultaneously can present significant challenges, particularly for newly established laboratories or those expanding their scope of activities. Therefore, organizations should develop an appropriate implementation roadmap, conduct regular self-assessments, and promptly address any identified nonconformities.
The program focuses on three major areas of support:
ISSQ Quality Institute organizes professional training courses to help laboratory personnel thoroughly understand the requirements of the standard and enhance their capability to establish, implement, and maintain laboratory management systems, including:
During the implementation period of the program, ISSQ Quality Institute offers a 10% discount on training fees for all participants and a 20% discount for the second participant from the same organization.
Testing laboratories participating in the program may communicate directly with experts to receive professional consultation and guidance in overcoming challenges during implementation.
Support services include:
In addition to training and consulting activities, ISSQ Quality Institute will select five (05) registered enterprises to receive an on-site assessment of their laboratory quality management system in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025, conducted over one day free of charge.
Through this assessment, experts will conduct a preliminary evaluation of the laboratory's management system, identify areas that do not yet comply with the requirements, and recommend appropriate improvements in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025.
The support program is available until September 30, 2026, providing testing laboratories with an opportunity to strengthen their technical competence, improve documentation, and develop an implementation roadmap aligned with their operational objectives.
As part of the 2026 Testing Laboratory Support Program, ISSQ Quality Institute will organize an online webinar entitled:
"ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and the Latest Legal Requirements for Testing Laboratories in 2026."
The webinar aims to help organizations stay updated with the latest legal regulations, gain a comprehensive understanding of the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2017, and resolve challenges encountered during the establishment and maintenance of laboratory management systems.
The webinar is expected to cover the following topics:
The webinar is designed for:
Participants will also receive supporting materials, including:
The webinar also provides an opportunity for testing laboratories to communicate directly with experts and register for the free on-site assessment of their laboratory management system conducted by ISSQ Quality Institute.
The Testing Laboratory Support Program organized by ISSQ Quality Institute will be available until September 30, 2026.
