Lead Practitioner Course This five-day intensive course help participants gain a thorough understanding of the updated technical and management requirements for a Lab Management System according to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 . This new standard aligns and harmonizes the requirements for a Laboratory Management System with ISO 9001:2015. The five-day course incorporates and explains the amendments to clauses of ISO/IEC 17025:2017 where International Organization for Standardization 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.
Participants are provided with the workshops and concepts to evaluate if these ISO/IEC 17025:2017 requirements are applicable in their labs and how to implement them according to standards. During this training course, you will also gain a thorough understanding of the best practices of an Lab Management System in testing and calibration laboratories in order to produce reliable measurement results and open your laboratory`s doors for accreditation and international recognition.
This training is based on both theory and best practices used in the implementation of a LMS. Lecture sessions are illustrated with examples based on case studies. Practical exercises are based on a case study which includes role playing and discussions.
This course covers the following:
The new structure of ISO/IEC 17025:2017
