Program Overview
This program helps laboratory professionals interpret the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025 and apply them correctly, implement a laboratory management system (LMS) effectively, and conduct an effective gap analysis and internal audit of the LMS.
It covers the management and technical requirements of ISO/IEC 17025, with a detailed examination of key management system elements and technical operations such as personnel, environmental conditions, method validation, measurement uncertainty, equipment, traceability and reporting.
The program also introduces the principles and 12 elements of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), compares the structure of GLP with ISO, and addresses biorisk, biosecurity, biosafety and laboratory safety management.
