Past Webinar:
Ensuring ISO 17025:2017 compliance in your Laboratory
A cornerstone of the ISO 17025 Standard is the requirement for laboratories to demonstrate they operate competently and are able to generate valid results. This, in turn, is key to building trust in the quality of the data and information provided to partners, customers and collaborators.
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
