ABSTRACT:
This tutorial aims to teach practical internal auditing skills to individuals familiar with the activities of an ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratory. We will examine auditing principles and techniques and practice internal auditing skills. While the tutorial is based on internationally recognized approaches to conducting internal audits, we will also draw on attendees’ practical laboratory experience, as well as ensure that the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2017 for an internal audit are understood. The course includes easy-to-implement methods for risk-based thinking, continual improvement, and closing out findings through the analysis of root causes aimed at their elimination.
