Ensuring ISO 17025:2017 compliance in your Laboratory
While the 2017 update to ISO 17025 emphasizes a risk-based approach over prescribed working practices, it is still a management system that must be defined, implemented and shown to be adhered to.
The Webinar discusses how a well-implemented Laboratory Information Management System can support many aspects of an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 based management system, over and above just the technical records (Section 7.5). It will illustrate how workflow definition and process enforcement aid adherence to an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 management system and discuss the benefits of an integrated information management system strategy.
We will cover a number of aspects of how LIMS supports ISO 17025, among them:
- Data Integrity/Result Validity
- Measurement Uncertainty and Limits
- Instrument Calibration and Maintenance
- SOP and document management
- CAPA management
- Monitoring of environmental conditions for potential contamination
