Steps to be followed for successfully implementing ISO 17025 standard:
-
Obtain support of Management
Managerial support is at the epicenter of successful transformations within any organization. Adoption of a quality management system can be initiated as a result of many things (e.g. negative press, exposure incident, fatality). However, the decision to commit, allocate resources, and start implementation planning must be supported by management. -
Determine the context of the Organization
What will be the extent of your daily operations as it relates to ISO 17025? What testing methods will be within the scope of accreditation? Who will be your customer? Spend some time identifying what will be applicable to the ISO 17025 accreditation. -
Define Scope, Management, Commitment and Responsibilities
Define the Quality Policy, Quality Objectives and establish a quality manual. Identify what area of your daily activities are applicable to ISO 17025. Express the level of managerial commitment required and designate the person responsible for follow-up. Identify and document the commitment that will come from management. Clearly define and document the associated roles and responsibilities across the organization. -
Address Risks and opportunities
Risks and opportunities are areas that could potentially directly harm the organization, its reputation, customer engagement, or staff members. Once risks are identified, you want to take the time to identify mitigation steps needed. Evaluate current activities and determine what more could be done to lessen any identified risks. -
Define Processes and Procedures
Brainstorm and document the list of activities and methods performed within the laboratory. Develop instructions for how things are to be performed. Designate and assign responsibilities for the establishment of each procedure. -
Implement Processes, Procedures and Controls
Outline the plan for implementation and associate a timeline. Identify and share any new expectations for personnel. What changes will affect daily activities? What controls are now built into procedures? How will the organization ensure processes and procedures are being executed as written within the standard operating procedures? Develop a plan to monitor implementation and determine the effectiveness of procedures that have been established. Records should be generated and reviewed periodically. -
Perform Training and Awareness programs
All staff should be educated about ISO 17025, but they should also be educated on what is expected of them. When change is on the horizon a need for an information exchange is inevitable. Be sure to highlight the changes that will be applied to daily activities. Awareness programs can come in the form of committees or small groups that will help spread coming expectations. -
Engage with the Consultation body
Contact your consultation body. A consultation body provides the crucial support and the means for your laboratory to achieve certification through the assessment process. Start engaging with them. -
Operate the LMS
The Laboratory Management System as defined by the quality objectives and procedures is the core of all operations surrounding daily activities. Once the LMS is established you will want to keep staff educated on the requirements and review associated records to ensure the system is working as intended. -
Conduct Internal audits
Internal audits should be used to evaluate the quality management system against the requirements of the standard and against the standard operating procedures that have been generated. Staff should be aware of the intent of internal auditing practices and their established frequency. -
Management review
The frequency of these reviews is defined by your organization. The content within the management review should effectively address resources, risks and opportunities, nonconformance and all aspects of the management system functionality.
