How to conduct management review as per NABL/ISO/IEC 17025:2017

 


The top management of the CAB shall periodically conduct a review of the CAB’s management system and technical activities to ensure their suitability and effectiveness and to introduce any necessary changes or improvements.

Management review should also take note of changes that have taken place in the organisation, facilities, equipment, procedures and/ or activities of the CAB and ensure (through quality manager) that management system continues to conform to the requirements of relevant standard.

The need for changes to the system may also arise as a result of findings from internal or external quality audits, inter-laboratory comparisons or proficiency tests, surveillance or reassessment visits by NABL / regulatory bodies, complaints from customers or change in policies of NABL.

The top management of the CAB should be responsible for conducting reviews of the management system

The quality manager should be responsible for ensuring that all reviews are conducted in a systematic manner according to an established procedure, and that the management review are recorded.

The quality manager should also be responsible for ensuring that any action identified during a review is implemented within the agreed time limit.

Management reviews should be carried out at least once a year.

It should be the quality manager’s responsibility to ensure that all actions arising from review are carried out as required. Actions and their effectiveness should be monitored at regular (perhaps monthly) management meetings.

All management reviews should be documented. The documentation may be in the form of minutes of review meetings together with clear indications as to the actions to be taken, by whom and in what time limit.

The records should be readily accessible and be retained for a minimum period of three years.

FIRE SAFETY

Image
  Fire safety is the set of practices intended to reduce the destruction caused by Fire. It includes those that are intended to prevent ignition of an uncontrolled fire, and those that are used to limit the development and effects of a fire after it starts. All of our work forces are trained to handle all fire fighting equipments and thus in case of emergency they need not depend on fire brigade to extinguish the fire to avoid destruction.   The fire is a common and serious emergency situation that security has to deal with. As a security guard, your main duty is to protect people and property but the fire can destroy both in a minute. You should manage and look over the fire hazard on your site. Mostly, the security guards are the first person to detect in the early stage of fire. In the case of fire, you have to know how to react quickly and confidently. So, you should know the available types of fire equipment and their location on your site. Not only this but also...

How to calculate combined uncertainty for NABL/ISO/IEC 17025:2017

Image
To calculate the uncertainty of your measurements, you'll need to find the best estimate of your measurement  and consider the results when you add or subtract the measurement of uncertainty. After measuring the individual uncertainty due to type A and type B, the combined uncertainty (U c ) is calculated as follows; U c  = √ (U 1 2  + U 1 2  + U 1 2 +……) Where; U 1,  U 2,  U 3  etc are uncertainties calculated with same units        Another method of combining uncertainty with different units of measure is fractional uncertainty. 1.      Identify the equation 2.      Calculate the fractional uncertainty for each contributor 3.      Calculate the combined uncertainty 4.      Convert the result to the desired unit of measure. The quantities that affects the measurand may not have a direct one to one relationship with it. Ind...
