Understanding and Implementing an Effective Laboratory Quality Management System
OVERVIEW
Part 1
QMS is the catch phrase for accreditation and is the backbone of
ISO/IEC Standard 17025: The Quality System Manual (QSM) is the bible in a QMS
environment because, much like its predecessor, Good Laboratory Practice (GLP),
it contains the policies that the laboratory is expected to follow to achieve
quality results. It is in fact only the “what to do” component of a QMS. What
is also needed are the “how to do it” or procedures and methods and finally the
controls or evidence that it was done properly. This is the 1st of two webinars
on this topic and focuses on complying with themanagement requirements of the
standard.
Part 2
Many laboratories regard Quality Assurance, Quality Assessment
and Quality Control as independent activities, others use the terms interchangeably,
e.g. QA/QC. This demonstrates a lack of appreciation of the differences between
Assurance, Assessment and Control, as well as the interrelationships,
particularly between QA and QC. This has created confusion in the minds of many
analysts with respect to understanding how QA and QC play separate, but related
roles for achieving Quality Assurance in a Quality Management System (QMS).

WHY SHOULD YOU ATTEND
Part 1
Accreditation to international standards is becoming the norm in
the global analytical community. Although essentially voluntary, there are many
jurisdictions that now require food and environmental laboratories to be
accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 in order to participate in regulatory programs.
Once accreditation has been achieved many laboratories have difficulty
maintaining the QMS as evidenced by the number of non-conformances cited during
the subsequent biannual audits. Why do you want to become accredited? Where do
you start? For laboratories that are already accredited, how do you ensure
staff adherence and ongoing compliance to minimize corrective actions arising
from accreditation audits? Many laboratories struggle with developing and
implementing a functional quality management system that not only complies with
the management and technical requirements of ISO/IEC 17025b but also meets
their own needs and those of their customers.
Part 2
QMS is the catch phrase for accreditation and is the backbone of
ISO/IEC Standard 17025:Accreditation to international standards is becoming the

This webinar is the 2nd in the series and will address how to develop and
maintain the technical components of the QMS.
