ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Internal Auditor Training for Lab Management Systems (3-Day)
This new ISO/IEC 17025:2017 taught in conjunction with Omnex, an Exemplar Global Certified provider, aligns and harmonizes the requirements for a Laboratory Management System with ISO 9001:2015. The three-day course incorporates and explains the amendments to clauses where ISO determined that such changes were necessary. The technical requirements for laboratories who provide testing and calibration services are enhanced by the use of management systems that incorporate the requirements of ISO 9001:2015.
The acceptance of testing and calibration results between countries and industries should be facilitated if laboratories will comply with this International Standard. The use of this standard will also facilitate cooperation between laboratories and other bodies and assist in the exchange of information and experience, standards and procedures. The introduction of the Process Approach to Management Systems and a new auditing standard which allows efficient and effective auditing of these systems can be used by internal and external auditors to meet the requirements of laboratory and quality systems.
