Hello all,
My Quality Manager is gearing us up for ISO 17025 accreditation and we have hit a bump in the road. We have a cabinet full of instruction manuals and service manuals that we need to turn into controlled documents (right?
). I would like to know how other labs (accredited if possible) go about doing this. Will a simple cover page with some sort of a procedure number stapled to the manual work?
My second question is about revisions for all these manuals. Some manufactureres, like Fluke, make it easy! Search their site and get it. Others, you search the web and they want you to purchase the newest revision or you only find it on ebay
Can we stipulate that we use the manual we have unless the customer provides us with a newer revision to the manual, in which case we photocopy it and label it as a revision to our calibration procedure for that item? or do we actually have to look for revisions to these manuals periodically?
If I'm over-complicating this for myself, please tell me so. I'm an entry level technician trying to help in the process.
PS: Is it ok to list a GIDEP procedure as a procedure name on a calibration cert? or do we have to write our own procedure?
Thank you in advance for your advice.
