ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for Testing and Calibration Labs

Learn about the updated ISO/IEC 17025 Standard.

Course Objectives

To learn about ISO/IEC 17025 from one of its original authors. To learn its Principles and what it requires of laboratory staff.

Target Organizations

This Training Course applies to testing and calibration laboratories and regulatory agencies seeking to specify 17025 within their policies and regulations.

Course Participants

For all laboratory staff who
• Manage the laboratory
• Participate in the operation of the laboratory quality systems
• Conduct tests or calibrations
• Train laboratory staff

Training Process

This 2-day Training Course examines structural components of the standard. See the published syllabus. Quality system and technical requirements are grouped in a manner that makes them clear and understandable.

Technical considerations include traceability of measurement and estimations of uncertainty. Quality system discussions include easy-to-understand approaches (with sample forms provided) for continual improvement (risk based thinking) and handling of customer feedback.

The course contains extensive reference to common accreditation body interpretations and implementation guidance documents from ILAC, APAC, VIM, and CITAC.

90 MINUTE WEBINAR TOPICS
Webinar 1 – Decision Rule in ISO/IEC 17025

All measurements made in accredited laboratories must include some consideration of the uncertainty of measurement.  Today that approach has been expanded to include the uncertainty of measurement in any statement of compliance that a laboratory may make based on the measured results.

How does uncertainty affect the demonstrated compliance of a measurement?

Learn the most common approaches in making easy use of evaluated and estimated uncertainties in making conformant statements of compliance in test and calibration reports.

Outline:

    • Introduction
    • How uncertainty affects a measurement to a specification.
    • The conformance area
    • Non-conformance areas
    • The “doubt zone”
    • Guard banding
    • Qualitative results
    • Changing the rules based on knowledge of the science
Webinar 2 – Is there a Need for Full Corrective (or Preventive) Action?

Not all risks, benefits and non-conforming conditions need full root cause analysis.  Some of them will never impact the ability of the organization or the people in it to do their job, or their health, welfare and safety.

Those that do, must be handled formally.  Those that do not can be treated differently, but consistent with good QMS practice.

Learn the difference.  Gain objective tools to make the determination and defend that decision to any regulatory or accreditation body.

Outline:

Introduction

The conditions that must be considered

    • Risks/Benefits
    • Non conformances
    • Potential non-conformances (also known as Risks)
    • Opportunities for improvement (also known as Benefits)

Objective decision criteria

    • Three questions
    • Six steps
    • The cycle of review
