ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and Section 8.8 on Internal Audits
This webinar will review the requirements specified in ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for internal audits. As a vehicle for compliance, we will explore how to maximize the benefit from these requirements to assure compliance with the ISO/IEC 17025:2017, requirements and compliance with your own quality management system. Ideally if there is a nonconformance issue to ISO/IEC 17025:2017, your internal audit program will identify it prior to being assessed by your accreditation body.

No longer specific to a procedure however now specifically stating all contributors need to be identified in regard to measurement uncertainty. The webinar will look at the requirements for both testing and calibration laboratories regarding measurement uncertainty along with examples specific to both types of organizations.
The validity of results (Section 7.7) now states where available and appropriate, you must compare your results to results outside your organization. We will look at this requirement along with other avenues which laboratories can employ in their quality management system to ensure the validity of results in which they are reporting.
