3 About IAS The International Accreditation Service is a US-based Accreditation Body that provides accreditation services around the world for twenty- two categories of Conformity Assessment Bodies. Providing accreditation services since A non-profit subsidiary of the International Code Council. Our largest accreditation program provides accreditation for Testing Laboratories and Calibration Laboratories under ISO/IEC
4 Accreditation Verifies Competence Accreditation is used worldwide to verify the competence of companies and organizations. Accreditation involves a formal assessment performed by a thirdparty (accrediting organization) to determine if a company or entity has demonstrated competence and meets specified requirements to perform specific tasks. Provides global recognition through ILAC and APLAC 4
5 Global Recognition IAS accreditation programs are recognized globally through agreements with international accreditation bodies: IAS is a signatory to the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) and Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (APLAC) Mutual Recognition Arrangements (MRA) for Testing, Certification and Inspection. IAS is a Multilateral Recognition Arrangement (MLA) signatory of the Pacific Accreditation Cooperation (PAC) for Product Certification. 5

7 Empowering Laboratory Personnel The theme of this conference is Empowering Laboratory Personnel. This talk is about The important role of lab staff in assuring the Impartiality of the lab and Scientific Validity of the testing. Exploring Aspects of how the people working for Testing Labs can assure the quality of testing and provide AWEsome service. Copyright IAS 2017 L. J. O Connor - Slide 7
8 Empowering Laboratory Personnel Accreditation of Laboratories is an important step toward Empowerment. The accreditation process provides basic assurances to the laboratory s clients and the general public that the lab has: Commitment to Quality. Organization Structure Management Practices Facilities Equipment Staff Laboratory Procedures Quality Control Practices Copyright IAS 2017 L. J. O Connor - Slide 8
9 Empowering Laboratory Personnel Why become accredited? You want to create a lab that has a good reputation known for the reliability and validity of test services. Laboratory accreditation is an important step in demonstrating to the world that your lab is committed to providing quality testing services. Your clients will have assurance that the specifications are being met and safety or other performance related factors are being achieved. Copyright IAS 2017 L. J. O Connor - Slide 9
10 Empowering Laboratory Personnel Why become accredited? Accreditation leads to adoption of global best practices for laboratory operation. Good laboratory practices result in good science and valid test results. Reliable testing benefits the health and safety of our friends, neighbors and the citizens of your region and in some cases the whole world. Copyright IAS 2017 L. J. O Connor - Slide 10
11 Execution Matters So, you have a newly accredited lab. All the parts are in place. Now the question is What do you do? Building a vibrant quality organization takes constant care. Skill and wisdom are required. Execution matters. Copyright IAS 2017 L. J. O Connor - Slide 11
12 IMPARTIALITY and SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY Two important requirements for a successful lab are IMPARTIALITY and SCIENTIFIC VALIDITY. Both are necessary to the provision of results that are: Reliably Accurate Sufficiently Precise. Copyright IAS 2017 L. J. O Connor - Slide 12
13 Various Types of People are Needed What are the groups of people that can affect the quality of laboratory services? We first think of the Scientists and Lab Technicians that actually perform tests as having the most important role but others have an equally important role. Copyright IAS 2017 L. J. O Connor - Slide 13
14 Various Types of People are Needed What other groups of people affect the quality of laboratory services? Next there are the Scientists, Engineers and Doctors that supervise the testing and manage the laboratory. Copyright IAS 2017 L. J. O Connor - Slide 14
15 Various Types of People are Needed What other groups of people affect the quality of laboratory services? The Administrative support staff are key in creating an environment that allows the Technical staff to focus on the science while they manage important business and logistical duties. Copyright IAS 2017 L. J. O Connor - Slide 15
16 Various Types of People are Needed What other groups of people affect the quality of laboratory services? Lab assistants, laborers and drivers all provide necessary physical and logistical support and their diligence is also important to quality. But there is still one more group to consider! Copyright IAS 2017 L. J. O Connor - Slide 16
17 Various Types of People are Needed What other groups of people affect the quality of laboratory services? The Owners of the lab also have a key role in creating and sustaining an environment that is conducive to quality results. So, our focus in not just the Lab Technician but the several groups of people that can affect quality. Copyright IAS 2017 L. J. O Connor - Slide 17
