OVERVIEW
ISO/IEC 17025:2005 is the international standard for the general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories and has been updated and revised. The new version was released November 29, 2017. What are the changes and how will they impact your current Quality Management System? Similarly, developing a QMS is a prerequisite for getting accredited. What are the new requirements that need to be addressed? This webinar will discuss the changes in the standard and their impact on your QMS.
WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
Many laboratories have successfully developed and are implementing a functional quality management system that not only complies with the management and technical requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2005 but also meets their needs. Some are still struggling to get accredited and even those already accredited still have issues as evidenced by the number of non-conformances cited during the subsequent biannual audits.
AREAS COVERED
What is Laboratory Accreditation
Components of a Quality Management System (QMS)
Changes in ISO/IEC 17025:2017 vs. 17025:2005
Meeting the requirements of the ISO/IEC 17025:2017
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
What are the new requirements of ISO/IEC 17015:2017? Have the rules changed? How does the new standard impact laboratories that are already accredited and how do you ensure staff adherence and on-going compliance to minimize corrective actions arising from accreditation audits?
WHO WILL BENEFIT
This webinar will provide valuable assistance to:
Laboratory Managers
QA Managers
QC Analysts
