Fundamentals of ISO 17025 Implementation

Laboratory and Quality Management|2 days|Classroom or live online

Fundamentals of ISO 17025 Implementation is built for delegates who need to be useful in this area quickly. It starts at first principles and works through technical record keeping and quality management systems without assuming prior specialist training. The programme exists because method validation is frequently treated as paperwork rather than as evidence, and because capability in this area is usually built on the job with no structure behind it. Delegates leave able to work confidently with corrective and preventive action, measurement uncertainty and root cause analysis in their own organisation.

What delegates leave able to do

Make a decision about corrective and preventive action without waiting for a specialist, measured against SANAS accreditation requirements
Take ownership of measurement uncertainty rather than escalating it
Put root cause analysis on a footing they can defend to a reviewer
Improve sample handling and chain of custody within their own organisation
