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.
