Book excerpt: Food Manufacturers are facing challenging times due to regulations such as the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) requiring them to provide evidence they are producing safe foods. Food testing laboratories aid in the mitigation of food safety issues providing evidence that a manufacturers food safety system is acceptable. To perform these activities laboratories are required to adhere to certain standards such as ISO/IEC 17025 General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories. However, implementation of ISO/IEC 17025 practices is challenging, especially for small and academic laboratories, due to lack of available guidance. A long-term goal of the University of Nebraska Food Processing Center Laboratory Services (UNL-FPCLS) has been to prepare for ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation and provide accredited testing services to the food industry. This project included implementation of a quality management system including organizational structure, policies, support programs, and standard operating procedures. Over 63 SOPs, 103 forms, 19 manuals and lists, and 6 support programs were developed and implemented in this project. Media qualification verification procedures were developed for non-selective solid (Tryptic Soy Agar), non-selective liquid (Tryptic Soy Broth, Buffered Peptone Water), and selective liquid (Neogen RevealRTM 20 Hour E. coli O157:H7, Romer RapidChekRTM Listeria) media to evaluate growth and quality parameters over the shelf life of the media. These procedures serve as a guide for implementing a media control program. Shelf life at room temperature and 2-8°C was determined for TSA (7 and 60 days), TSB/BPW (2 and 13 weeks), RapidChekRTM Listeria (3 and 12 hours), and RevealRTM 20-Hour (6 hours both), respectively. Method verification of qualitative in-scope methods Neogen RevealRTM 20-Hour for detection of E. coli O157:H7, Romer RapidChekRTM for detection of Listeria spp., and BioMerieux VIDASRTM UP Salmonella SPT for detection of Salmonella spp. was also performed. All methods gave results of 100% for sensitivity. This project provides academic and small laboratories with methods and procedures that may be used as guides for implementing quality management systems and verifying methods to become ISO compliant and pursue ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation. Finally, the FPCLS completed all ISO compliance requirements and is positioned to pursue ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2004 in the subject Medicine - Hospital Environment, Clinical Medicine, grade: good, Anglia Ruskin University, language: English, abstract: An accredited laboratory according to ISO/IEC 17025 and a research facility working according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Good Laboratory Practice (OECD GLP) series of principles, both facilities perform chemical, analytical and microbiological tests. The main difference is the types of projects that the laboratories deal with. OECD GLP facilities conduct studies for the purpose of testing and assessing chemicals to determine their potential hazards. The GLP principles are a managing tool covering the organisational process and the conditions under which laboratory studies are planned, performed, monitored, recorded and reported. Whereas accredited laboratories are testing and calibration laboratories. They operate a quality system, are technically and scientifically competent, and are able to generate technically valid and traceable results. There are many definitions of Quality. One possibility might be to define quality “in terms of customer satisfaction”. As there is no absolute measure hence it should be “management’s task to translate future needs of customers into quality products and services]. Therefore a ‘quality system’ can assist organisations in enhancing customers’ satisfaction. According to Andrew Waddell there are two dimensions of a quality system, a vertical and a horizontal dimension. The requirements of the vertical, i.e. technical, level are covered by ISO 17025 whereas the horizontal, i.e. managing and organisational, concept is detailed in the OECD GLP principles. However, a comparison of both shows overlapping and/or common requirements in these international standards with unique occurrence in the two of them.

This book was released on 2013-03 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book introduces the new concepts of target measurement uncertainty and decision rules and explains how to use them to demonstrate a method is fit-for-purpose. As well, they can be used to set the acceptance criteria for a method validation clearly and quantitatively. Examples are given that illustrate the concepts so that the reader can easily apply decision rules and target measurement uncertainty to their methods. The book covers all aspects of method validation from stating the purpose of the method using a Decision Rule, calculating the target measurement uncertainty, deciding the required parameters that need to be included in the method validation, estimating the measurement uncertainty, and setting the acceptance criteria. With this approach the reader will fully understand the method, what its critical control points are and what to control and monitor during routine use. This approach fits in well with the lifecycle approach to analytical methods. The book covers the basics and advanced aspects of method validation so that it is useful for people new to method validation and those with experience. The book is applicable for laboratories in many industries, from mining to pharmaceutical manufacturing to food analysis.

This book was released on 2009-11-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In order to gain accreditation, every laboratory must have a superior quality assurance program. The keys to a successful program are the operational and technical manuals and associated documents which define the program and its various components. Written by experts with global experience in setting up laboratories, Implementing Quality in Laboratory Policies and Processes: Using Templates, Project Management, and Six Sigma provides templates for the various policies, procedures, and forms that should be contained in the quality assurance, operational, and technical manuals of a laboratory seeking accreditation. Templates for the entire project life cycle The book begins with a general introduction and overview of quality assurance and then moves on to cover implementation strategies. It contains best practices and templates for the project management of the design and implementation of the laboratory operational and technical manuals required to establish a quality assurance program. The templates span the entire project life cycle, from initiation, to planning, to execution, to monitoring, and finally, to closure. The book also examines how Six Sigma concepts can be used to optimize laboratories, and contains templates that cover administrative issues, quality assurance, sample control, and health and safety issues. In addition, there is a section of criteria files that relate the individual document templates to specific accreditation criterion. Addresses the standards of ISO 17025 The results of any laboratory examination have the potential to be presented in court and can ultimately affect the life and liberty of the parties involved. Therefore, a stringent quality assurance program, including well-documented policies and a procedure manual, is essential. Ensuring that laboratories meet the standards of ISO 17025, this volume is a critical component of any laboratory’s accreditation process.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report describe about the development of MS ISO/IEC 17025:2005 quality manual and system procedure for FKM laboratory, University Malaysia Pahang (UMP). This report consists of five chapters which are Introduction, Literature Review, Methodology, Results and Conclusion. The objectives of this project are study and identify the clauses of MS ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and develop the quality manual and system procedure according to the standard requirement for FKM laboratory. Studies and understanding the clauses is important before developing the quality manual and system procedure. This standard is divided to two main requirements which are management requirement and technical requirement. The management requirement of this standard is similar with the requirement of ISO 9001. The requirement of ISO 9001 was being studies. A workshop of MS ISO/IEC 17025:2005 was being attended to understand more clear on the clauses and some important information to develop the quality manual and system procedure. After that, one of the accredited MS ISO/IEC 17025 laboratories has been chosen to visit. It was also to understand more deep in developing the quality manual and system procedure; and ensures that the quality manual and system procedure is developing in the right path. The quality manual is developing as the policy and objective of the laboratory. The system procedure will been develop as a procedure to achieve the objective of the quality manual. The forms are creating as an evidence to support the requirements of the standard. The quality manual had been developed from clause 4.9 to clause 4.15 which is clauses of management requirement of the standard. The system procedure also had been developed for each of the clauses except the clause 4.10 improvement. This clause not required any system procedure because this clause had related with the entire clause to ensure that the quality management system is continual improve. Some of the form had been created such as Non-Conforming Investigation Form, Corrective and Preventive Action Form. The schedule for the internal audit and management review had been developed. The audit checklist had been created for the auditor use during the audit process. All the documents will be proposed to FKM laboratory for the accreditation of MS ISO/IEC 17025:2005. In conclusion, the objective of the project had been achieved where the entire related document had been developed.
Download or read book Quality Control and Assurance written by Leo Kounis and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2017-02-22 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quality control and assurance cover a diverse area of modern life and play, undeniably, an important role. This book brings together a collection of international papers that showcase examples of current research and practice in industry and the medical profession. It is hoped that engineers, researchers and scientists will be assisted in their continuous quest for excelling in qualitative aspects. The Ancient Greek word arete means excellence or virtue and defines the highest qualitative state: a mans effectiveness and skill in goodness (optimum potentiae). Indeed, Ancient Greeks believed that without quality control, specifications are useless and may result to illegitimacy, which in turn may become a threat to society itself.
