Description Additional information

ISO/IEC 17025 Lead ImplementerWhat is ISO/IEC 17025?The term IEC stands for International Electrotechnical Commission which in cooperation with ISO creates the specific system for global standardization. ISO/IEC 17025 is an international standard for testing and calibration laboratories. It was established to offer quality and improve processes within laboratories. ISO/IEC 17025 contains two key clauses: Management Requirements, which address how the laboratory performs and manages the efficiency of its Quality Management System, and Technical Requirements, which focus on employees’ competencies, testing methodology, equipment, and the accuracy of test and calibration results.Why should you attend?ISO/IEC 17025 Lead Implementer training enables you to develop the necessary expertise to support laboratories to meet the requirements of the standard by implementing a quality control system based on ISO/IEC 17025. During this training course, you will also gain a thorough understanding of the best practices of an LMS in testing and calibration laboratories in order to produce reliable measurement results and open your laboratory`s doors for accreditation and international recognition.After mastering all the necessary concepts of Laboratory Management Systems, you can sit for the exam and apply for a “PECB Certified ISO/IEC 17025 Lead Implementer” credential. By holding a PECB Lead Implementer Certificate, you will be able to demonstrate that you have the practical knowledge and professional capabilities to implement ISO/IEC 17025 in your laboratory.Who should attend?

• Individuals involved in Testing and Calibration Laboratories
• Managers or consultants seeking to master the implementation of a Laboratory Management System
• Laboratory technicians are responsible for maintaining conformance with Testing and Calibration Laboratories Accreditation requirements
• Individuals responsible for supporting the operations of a Testing and Calibration Laboratory
• Technical experts seeking to prepare for Testing and Calibration Laboratories competence assessment

Learning objectives

• Acknowledge the correlation between ISO/IEC 17025 and other standards and regulatory frameworks
• Master the concepts, approaches, methods and techniques used for the implementation and effective management of a Laboratory Management System (LMS)
• Learn how to interpret the ISO/IEC 17025 requirements in the specific context of the laboratory
• Learn how to support a laboratory to perform testing and other operating activities
• Acquire the expertise to advise a laboratory in implementing Laboratory Management System best practices

Educational approach

• This training is based on both theory and  best practices used in the implementation of a LMS
• Lecture sessions are illustrated with examples based on case studies
• Practical exercises are based on a case study which includes role playing and discussions
• Practice tests are similar to the Certification Exam
