The
laboratory accreditation can seemingly take a long time and is
a lot of work. What should a laboratory do to prepare for an initial
accreditation? Step through the application process. What happens
to your quality manual once it's submitted? What should you expect
during an on-site assessment? What happens when your lab has nonconformities?
How do you respond to the accreditation body? Will you ever have
a "perfect" assessment? Walk through the process as
approached by NVLAP. We will share with you tips and hints and
discuss common tripping points.
How certain are you about your uncertainties? What is traceability
and why should anybody care? Work through some practical examples
with us. How can proficiency testing impact your accreditation?
Learn about how proficiency testing is run and how it is used
to validate claims of measurement uncertainty.
What about Accrediting Bodies, do they have to answer to a high
authority? What are the benefits of being accredited by a recognized
body? Reduced costs and market acceptance jump to the forefront.
Learn the ins and outs of the Mutual Recognition Arrangements
and how they can benefit your business.
This two-day tutorial will be interactive with a combination format
consisting of Presentations and Lectures, Working through examples,
Group exercises, and Panel Discussion with opportunity for Questions
and Answers.
