Advanced Method Validation
5 days|Delivered on request
This advanced programme assumes delegates already work in the field. It goes past the basics into non-conformance management, supplier qualification and the judgement calls that sit outside SANAS accreditation requirements. At this level the constraint is rarely knowledge. It is judgement under pressure, which matters because an accreditation finding can stop a laboratory trading in a way no other quality failure does. Delegates leave able to work confidently with measurement uncertainty, laboratory safety and technical record keeping in their own organisation.
What delegates leave able to do
- Bring measurement uncertainty into line with current good practice, measured against SANAS accreditation requirements
- Explain laboratory safety to someone who does not do the work
- Put technical record keeping on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
- Make a decision about sample handling and chain of custody without waiting for a specialist
