With the worldwide increasing number of testing and calibration laboratories accredited according to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard to satisfy requirements of customers, the arising question is how much laboratories in the science and higher education system in Croatia use their potentials to respond to these requirements. All accreditations granted in Croatia were reviewed, and special attention was given to accreditations granted to testing and calibration laboratories in the science and higher education system. Accreditations granted to testing laboratories alone comprise almost 50 % of all granted accreditations in Croatia, making the ISO/IEC 17025 standard the most used standard for accreditation in Croatia. This is additionally supported by accreditations granted to calibration laboratories, the third accreditation scheme in frequency. However, only a smaller portion (approx. 20 %) of these accreditations is granted to laboratories in the science and higher education system. Low portions of scientific and higher education institutions involved in accreditation lead to a conclusion that the main driving force for accreditation of laboratories in Croatia are laboratories associated with industry rather than scientific laboratories, despite their enormous potential in a form or highly skilled personnel and sophisticated equipment.

克罗地亚的认证：来自科学和高等教育系统的测试和校准实验室的地位如何？

随着全球越来越多的测试和校准实验室根据 ISO/IEC 17025 标准获得认可以满足客户的要求，出现的问题是克罗地亚科学和高等教育系统中的实验室有多少利用其潜力来响应这些要求。对克罗地亚授予的所有认证进行了审查，并特别关注授予科学和高等教育系统中测试和校准实验室的认证。仅授予测试实验室的认证就占克罗地亚所有授予的认证的近 50%，使 ISO/IEC 17025 标准成为克罗地亚最常用的认证标准。这也得到了授予校准实验室的认证的支持，这是频率上的第三个认证计划。然而，这些认证中只有一小部分（约 20%）授予科学和高等教育系统中的实验室。参与认证的科学和高等教育机构的比例很低，因此得出结论认为，克罗地亚实验室认证的主要驱动力是与工业相关的实验室而不是科学实验室，尽管它们在形式或高技能人员和精密设备方面潜力巨大.
