  • Documentation and PT program

    The requirement for accreditation is to ensure the validity of results, by monitoring the performance of your laboratory’s results through comparison to that of other laboratories. Participation in Proficiency testing (PT) is one of the ways to demonstrate technical competence. As in your case, this is a challenge that a number of laboratories are faced with, where PT is not suitable, not practical or does not exist. It is then important to find the best means possible, to assess and monitor the performance of a method. Where no suitable PT scheme is available, your laboratory should compare results between yourselves and one or more laboratories (interlaboratory comparison). If such an option does not exist, you could evaluate a method by analysing matrix matched reference material, if available. If such materials are not available, packaging material can be spiked with certified Extractables and Leachable compounds of interest and recovery evaluated against certified values. Either way, all PT and related activities must be planned, documented and evaluated for suitability. The performance of an accredited method must be demonstrated on an ongoing basis, as part of you documented PT Plan.

  • Remote Functions

    As you know, before IATF audits, you fill out forms to certification body companies.

    In this form, you specify the remote locations you receive support from and the locations you provide support for.

    In your IATF certificate, only the name and address of the remote locations you receive support for and the functions for which you receive support appear.

    The places and functions you support will not appear on your IATF certificate.

    But the functions you support are; It should appear on page 2 of other companies' IATF certificates.

    If there are any innovations or changes in the remote functions you receive or the support functions you provide; Both the relevant forms should be updated and these should be noted in the IATF report.

    If anything is missing here; It is written in the audit report and added to the form you previously filled out to Certification Body.

    Apart from that, there should be no disagreement between you and the auditor.

  • IATF 16949 clause 9.1.1.1

    Hi Paulo Salgueiro, Thanks for your explaination. Actually we already get Major NCR during CB audit. The Finding is No evidence to show that the manufacturing process capability or performance for part ######## has been maintained as specified by the customer’s part approval process Initial process capability (i.e during trial run) showed the Cpk result was 1.995 but during the mass production, the Cpk result was 1.424.

  • OHS documents, criteria and requirements

    In answer to your questions regarding the ISO 45001 standard:

    1. The ISO 45001 standard does not require a management representative, but also does not demand that you change your terminology. You can keep a management rep if you want, as long as all of the responsibilities in clause 5.3 are fulfilled by someone.

    2. Clause 8.1.4 on procurement only requires that you establish a process to ensure that your procurement, including contractors and outsourcing, conforms to your OHSMS. How you do this is up to you, so including OH&S information into your standard contracts would be acceptable, as would an separate annex with this information; whichever works best for you. The idea of an annex that is only used for procurement where OH&S criteria needs to be flowed down might be the best approach.

    3. Clause 8.1.4.2, Contractors, requires that you coordinate with contractors to identify hazards so that you can access and control the OH&S risks arising from the activities. So yes, you need to assess the risks of contractors to control the risks.

  • ISO 17025 for Laboratory equipment

    Both ISO 17025 and ISO 13485 standards have the same objectives when it comes to equipment - to ensure that monitoring and measuring equipment is fit for purpose through the control of identification, maintenance, calibration, and metrological traceability. The standards are separate however, as the overall purpose and scopes are different. ISO/IEC 17025, General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories addresses a number of requirements, including requirements for equipment used by testing and calibration laboratories so that competency can be demonstrated to deliver reliable results.

    ISO 13485 Medical devices - Quality management system, Requirements for regulatory purposes addresses a number of requirements, including requirements for equipment where an organization providing medical devices or related services needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently meet applicable regulatory and customer requirements. The overlap between the standards come about because of common activities - the need for testing and calibration of medical device equipment. ISO 13485 is therefore also applicable for external providers of products and services to medical-device organizations, including calibration and maintenance services. It is therefore recommended that ISO 17025 laboratories that provide services or products to medical device organizations have a thorough understanding of ISO 13485 in order to meet necessary customer and regulatory requirements. Likewise, an ISO 13485 organization requiring testing or calibration services, or performing those activities themselves inhouse, should have thorough knowledge of ISO 17025.   

    For more information have a look at the articles:

  • ISO 9001 Procedure for Doc Control - "Code"

    A “Code” is a sort of a nickname a short identification of a document. Sometimes it is also useful for organizing documentation. For example, I may have a process called “Buy materials” code it as P6 and then refer work instructions as WI6.x as forms as F6.x and we will immediately recognize a relationship with the process where they are used.

  • ISO 9001: 2015

    Yes, the article “Understanding Resource Management in ISO 9001” - https://advisera.com/9001academy/blog/2014/02/11/understanding-resource-management-iso-9001/ applies to ISO 9001:2015. Although certain changes took place, instead of “Human Resources” now the standard mentions “People” and Section 6.2.2. Human Resources in ISO 9001:2008 dealt with the definition of competencies, a topic that is now dealt with in 7.2.

    7.1.3 and 7.1.4 are very similar to previous 6.3 and 6.4.

    7.1.5 is very similar to previous 7.6, with certain differences concerning traceability of standards and customer requirements.

    7.1.6 is new content.

  • Duties of Environment Engineer

    I can only speak about the key roles and responsibilities in the EMS. And within an EMS what can be closer to your question is the management representative role.

    ISO 14001:2015 no longer mandates the appointment of a management representative. However, organizations are free to keep that role.

    The following material will provide you more information about the management representative:

  • Annex A Policies list

    I assume your question is related to our ISO 27001 Documentation Toolkit - the reason why these security policies are not listed in the Project plan is because first you have to complete your risk assessment in order to decide which of these policies will be needed. 

    In other words, not all of these security documents are needed - you should apply only the ones that are really needed to decrease your risks. 

    This article explains the logic: The basic logic of ISO 27001: How does information security work? https://advisera.com/27001academy/knowledgebase/the-basic-logic-of-iso-27001-how-does-information-security-work/
