The Power of Documentation:
Effective documentation underpins every successful laboratory and forms the backbone of its quality management system (QMS). The ISO 17025 standard establishes clear requirements for specific documents, ensuring transparency, consistency, and adherence to best practices. Those documents play a critical role in several key areas:
• Demonstrating Competence: Well-developed documentation showcases the laboratory's technical expertise, impartiality, and commitment to quality. This builds trust and confidence with clients, regulatory bodies, and stakeholders.
• Ensuring Consistency: Documented procedures ensure standardized, repeatable procedures, minimizing errors and guaranteeing the reliability of test and calibration results.
• Facilitating Improvement: Regularly reviewing and updating documents promotes continuous development within the QMS, allowing the laboratory to evolve to evolving regulations, technologies, and client needs.
• Supporting Audits: Comprehensive documentation allows for smooth internal and external audits, facilitating compliance verification and identification of areas for development.
