Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this book is to demystify the requirements delineated within ISO/IEC 17025:2017, while providing a road map for organizations wishing to receive accreditation for their laboratories. AS9100, ISO 9001:2015, and ISO 13485:2016 are standards that have been created to support the development and implementation of effective approaches to quality management, and are recognized blueprints for the establishment of a quality management system (QMS) for many diverse industries. Similar to these recognized QMS standards, ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for laboratory accreditation serves a unique purpose. It is not unusual for laboratories to retain dual certification in ISO 9001:2015 and ISO/IEC 17025:2017. However, ISO/IEC 17025:2017 contains requirements specific to the laboratory environment that are not addressed by ISO 9001:2015. This book highlights those differences between ISO 9001:2015 and ISO/IEC 17025:2017, while providing practical insight and tools needed for laboratories wishing to achieve or sustain accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025:2017. For those currently or formerly accredited to the 2005 version of ISO/IEC 17025, an appendix outlines the changes between the 2005 and 2017 versions of the standard.

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.

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.

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.
Download or read book Implementation of ISO IEC 17025 Practices in Small and Academic Laboratories written by Eric Layne Oliver and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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.

Download or read book Establishing a Quality Management System in a University based Analytical Laboratory written by Audrey Marie Hansen and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Analytical laboratory organization is a complex task. Equally as complex is the establishment of a quality management system (QMS) that functions consistently and efficiently. The objectives of this research are to develop the quality manual for the Iowa State University Grain Quality Laboratory (ISU-GQL) to apply for ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation and to provide a structure for university-based analytical laboratories to establish quality management systems. Important considerations for implementing a QMS include writing and implementing laboratory procedures, standardizing job descriptions, creating a quality manual, and generating working control charts. Typical word processing and spreadsheet software along with custom program routines were utilized to simplify the ISU-GQL quality management system for technicians and managers because of the more continuous turnover and generally less structured practice of the university researcher. Special attention was paid to the initial and continuing training of technicians and support staff. The conclusions reached from this research include that a quality management system must originate and be endorsed by management to succeed; considerable time and energy must be expended by dedicated personnel to establish and maintain an effective quality management system; and that a quality management system which is well-organized and composed initially can experience great success.
