This workshop is a comprehensive look at the latest revision of the ISO 17025 and its documentation and internal auditing requirements. You will gain critical insight on the interpretation of the requirements of this laboratory standard and you will also receive a detailed review of the accreditation process. This workshop also gives attendees the knowledge needed to establish an internal quality audit program as required by ISO 17025, and to initiate the sequence of activities involved in scheduling, planning, conducting, reporting on and closing out internal quality audits. Participants will be able to employ effective techniques of auditing and the ability to develop the auditing procedures, scheduling and recording systems needed to sustain the program. This workshop Proof of competence is crucial for laboratories that produce testing and calibration results. And the ISO/IEC 17025 standard is designed to help you establish the correct management and technical requirements to achieve accurate results. Laboratory accreditation confirms that you have the correct quality systems in place to manage everything from administration to technical operations.
Laboratories can expect to be under continuing pressure to meet more exacting ‘good measurement practice’ requirements, as detailed in ISO/IEC 17025 and related laboratory accreditation standards. In order to meet these new requirements and demonstrate that their measurements are fit for purpose, laboratories will need to upgrade their technical systems, particularly with regard to the following:
Day 1:
Day 2:
Day 3:
Day 4:
Day 5:
In addition to the above list the course is equally suitable to project managers, team leaders or other key personnel responsible for implementing a quality management system based on ISO/IEC 17025.
