Auditing of testing laboratories is done
to check their compliance with standards of competence, performance or
customer requirements. Savant Technologies can provide effective
audits and meet internal and external requirements and give provide a
reliable assessment of a laboratory's capability and proficiency. This
can be done as a stand-alone service or as part of broader
quality
system support.
Audits for compliance with
ISO 17025 - focus on the requirements of the standard and the
laboratory's approach to meeting them.
Audits for customer
requirements - focus on whether the implementation of ISO 17025
requirements in contracted laboratories fulfils the actual requirements
of a specific customer
Internal audits - are
carried out on behalf of a laboratory to ensure compliance with ISO17025
and the organisation's own management system and procedures
Training can also be provided
for organisations developing their own auditing team. The
one or two day
Auditing workshop is built around the requirements of ISO 17025 but
is adaptable to meet the requirements of particular testing sectors
e.g. asbestos inspection, DWTS, MCerts, forensic.
Savant
Technologies auditors are trained and competent with the requirements of
ISO 17025 and other standards. They are also competent in chemical and
microbiological testing.
