Dear Ms/ Mr, Hi. I want to know about the risk of the corrective action form and corrective action procedure. An audit tell me that I should consider the risk when I want to write the corrective action? And also I should consider it in the corrective action procedure. Could you please help me?
What would the standard requires when the laboratory wants to use expired reagents, as management is placing it under clause 6. 4.9 but as Quality commander I do not think it is allowed
Are CRM certificates considered external documents even though you can get them online?
I have a very barebones understanding of what an audit needs to cover but I lack the experience of knowing how to conduct an audit.
For example, I know that an ISO 17025 audit needs to look for up to date equipment calibrations, but I do not know the reference guidelines set out in ISO 17025 (clause 7.4 I believe) for this and what would need to be presented as evidence, how to get this evidence or from who.
In other words I know "what" to look out for, but not "how" to or "who" to.
I'm the Quality Manager at a testing lab, and I'm working on a training presentation for staff on 'risks to impartiality'. I will be asking them to report any identified risks to their supervisor and one of the examples of a risk to impartiality I'm giving as one that is likely to occur is 'pressure on lab staff due to an unforeseen event (e.g. equipment failure, delay in receiving supplies etc.) I believe that these are risks to impartiality as they do put the staff under stress which can lead to cutting corners if they aren't properly mitigated. I'm just wondering if I'm correct or if these types of pressures are not exactly what is meant by risks to impartiality. If they are considered risks, is there a good way to communicate these? I feel like these ones are not what most expect as a risk to impartiality as most think of Conflicts of Interest. Thanks for any information you can provide.
Is it required that proficiency testing be completed using an outside lab? If the SME, for instance, verifies their performance with an outside lab, then we have the SME run a test side by side with each technician, can we document that as their proof of proficiency/competency?
i work for *** and we are trying to decide if the ISO 17025 certification of our 3rd party labs in Ukraine is still valid and full scope and what the ISO requirements are for situations like this for labs operating in warzones?
How can we merge ISO 9001 & ISO 17025? If we already have ISO 9001 system and want to implement ISO 17025 and have already quality manual for ISO 17025, should we select clause 8 option B in ISO 17025 for the responsible of ISO 9001 system
