Why Choose this Training Course?

This comprehensive training course will illustrate the ISO17025 requirements for testing laboratories, relevant to the operation of their management system, technical competency, validity of analytical results, and the use of Laboratory Information Management Systems (LIMS) as a tool in satisfying the above. In particular, the importance of LIMS implementation in meeting the traceability requirements of ISO 17025 will be addressed.

The training course will also demonstrate the compliance of ISO 17025 with those ISO 9001 and GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) requirements that are relevant to the scope of testing services. In addition, Management and Technical personnel of analytical laboratories will recognize the dire need of implementation of the Standard within their Organization to satisfy the needs of their customers and general market needs (e.g., Regulatory Authorities and organizations providing recognition).

This Petroknowledge training course will feature:

Management requirements of ISO 17025 Quality manual, Document control, Tenders, Suppliers, Service to the customer, Internal audits
Technical requirements of ISO 17025 Personnel, Equipment, Traceability, Reference standards, Sampling, Quality assurance of results, Test Certificates, O & I’s
Definition of Laboratory accreditation: Accreditation Bodies (AB’s) and Multilateral Agreements (MLA, MRA, ILAC) on cross frontier recognition of accreditation
Basic guidelines on the design of a LIMS
Implementation of a LIMS, in the context of ISO 17025

What are the Goals?

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

Understand and implement Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) in their organizations
Comprehend the importance of assuring quality of test and calibration results
Apply traceability from sample receipt and analysis scheduling until delivery of results, through the implementation of LIMS
Design LIMS based on ISO 17025 requirements
Realize the need for continuous review and improvement of LIMS systems, based on market and regulatory requirements

Who is this Training Course for?

This Petroknowledge training course is suitable for a wide range of professionals involved in Quality Assurance (QA) in analytical laboratories, but will greatly benefit:

Management and technical personnel of analytical laboratories, in a wide spectrum of activities (e.g., oil refinery, food and utility industries including potable and wastewater treatment plants, and commercial analytical laboratories)
Technicians, Specialists and other personnel involved in laboratories
Those laboratories that are in the process of obtaining ISO 17025 accreditation and those planning to implement a LIMS
Newly recruited laboratory scientific personnel
Laboratory accreditation consultants

How will this Training Course be Presented?

This training course will utilize a variety of proven learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension, retention of the information presented. This course will examine ISO17025 requirements and implementation of LIMS with a combination of learning strategies. It will involve both a guided as well as a complex response approach. Role playing will be applied alongside mentoring. Discussions will be instigated, especially during each session’s wrap up.
