A documented route from an out-of-control result to a defensible conclusion, and records behind every method, instrument and analyst.
Overview
Technical competence comes down to two questions: can the method do what the report claims, and can the laboratory show that the instrument and the analyst were fit to run it on the day. The AGS Laboratories Quality Management System reflects ISO/IEC 17025 requirements and answers both, covering sample management, equipment calibration, quality control, method validation, competency and internal audit, with laboratory safety, chemical safety and waste disposal governed inside the same structure rather than in a separate file.
Quality control is treated as bench work. Levey-Jennings control charts, out-of-control investigation and proficiency-testing trending give an analyst a defined path from a failed control to a documented conclusion, and the material references ISO/IEC 17043 proficiency-testing schemes. Internal audit references ISO 19011 guidance, so the audit programme rests on the reference an assessor works from, while calibration, validation and competency records carry the technical claims a scope of accreditation makes.
What this system covers
- Sample management — receipt, unique identification and traceability from acceptance through storage to disposal
- Equipment calibration — calibration intervals, traceability to reference standards, and what happens when an instrument is found out of tolerance
- Quality control — Levey-Jennings control charts, out-of-control investigation and proficiency-testing trending, referencing ISO/IEC 17043 schemes
- Method validation — accuracy, precision, detection and quantitation limits and robustness, through to verification that a method is fit for its intended use
- Laboratory and chemical safety — chemical inventory and safety data sheets, handling and storage, and waste segregation and disposal routes
- Analyst competency — who is authorised to perform which method, how that authorisation is granted, and how it is kept current
- Internal audit — a programme referencing ISO 19011, from planning and findings through to closure of corrective action
Who it's for
For laboratory quality managers, technical managers and consultants in testing, calibration, clinical and environmental laboratories that are pursuing ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation, maintaining it, or rebuilding a fragmented quality system. What the laboratory ends up with is one quality manual and SOP set in which technical practice and safety are governed together, written in the vocabulary an assessment team already works in.
