Implementation and Internal Audit of ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Laboratory Management System and NABL criteria

Date : 6 to 10 November, 2023   Time : 1340 Hrs to 1700 Hrs   Location / Mode : Online


INTRODUCTION

Establishment of Quality Management Systems in a test lab or a calibration lab assures confidence in measurements, streamlining the laboratory operations, improve laboratory's competitiveness, reduce risks & control on the variables. ISO/IEC 17025:2017 is one such standard that provides the criteria for competence of testing & calibration laboratories. This standard applies to all laboratories regardless of the number of personnel or the scope of testing and / or calibration activities in developing their management system for quality, administrative and technical operations. Accreditation from a third party accrediting body, like NABL in India, provides laboratories, the capability to operate an effective quality management system and in turn generate valid & internationally acceptable test and or/ calibration data.

Further, a laboratory holding the accreditation is required to have personnel who, inter-alia, shall implement, maintain and improve the management system, and shall report to the laboratory management on the performance and ensure the effectiveness of laboratory activities.

Keeping this in mind, IMTMA (Indian Machine Tool Manufacturers' Association) is organizing a 5 day programme on Technical System & Management Requirements of ISO/IEC 17025: 2017.
