On completion of this course delegates will have a better understanding of the essential technical requirements of ISO 17025/CLAS from an auditor perspective. Through greater understanding of these requirements and the guidance given, delegates will be able to conduct focused and effective technical audits to give accurate assessments of the status of laboratory quality systems and overall competence.
The course will be of particular interest to trained auditors who need to assess laboratory operations.
"Internal audits are an important requirement of laboratory quality standards (e.g. ISO 17025, CLAS, ISO 9000). They not only compare practice with requirements - the 'voice of the system', but also provide a means to verify and improve the quality of the work, which in turn gives confidence in the reliability of results. Auditing laboratories can present challenges. Audits often fail to correctly appraise the suitability and standard of technical operations. This course will review the requirements for internal audits, explain the technical requirements of CLAS/ISO 17025 and provide detailed guidance on how to approach and successfully audit essential laboratory operations to a standard that gives confidence in the technical activities, the competence of the laboratory and reassurance of results."
