ISO 17025-2017 Management Review reporting items - Inputs

[gary853]

When putting together an agenda for the required Management Review, one of the required inputs is:
8.9.2 n. Outcomes of the assurance of the validity of results.
What exactly is being required?

 

[John Broomfield]

Whatever the lab does to give confidence in its testing and or calibrations which may include:

1. Proficiency testing
2. Analyzing QC data (incl statistical outliers)
3. Replication using different methods
4. Retesting or recalibrating retained samples/items
5. Monitoring measurement processes (aka supervision)
6. Trending calibration data
7. Investigating out-of-tolerance situations

Lots to get your teeth into.

First, study what top management already does to periodically review the performance of the lab.

This shows respect for their existing process and reduces the duplication probable from your imposition of a procedure written around the standard.

You may find all you need is a few more reports on system performance.

I know the basics but my client got N/C for 8.9.2 & 8.9.3

Then you need to determine the root causes of this nonconformity.

I doubt this nonconformity was caused by the absence of a brand new documented procedure.

SANAS send it back after document review, rev 0.0

 

[John Broomfield]

Then SANAS will have cited the requirement for a documented management review procedure.

I see no such requirement in the clauses you mentioned.

Perhaps they were expecting records of management review?

In your contract with SANAS have you agreed to provide docs additional to those specified in ISO 17025?
