What is a quality audit?
First of all, a quality audit is an independent, documented process for objectively assessing a laboratory’s compliance.
Audits are an essential tool for continuous improvement used to verify that the quality management system and processes are functioning properly. In addition, they help assess their effectiveness in implementing an organization’s quality policy and objectives. They also make it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of the target performance levels set by an organization.
A quality audit may also be based on different reference frameworks:
- a standard
- a quality manual
- specifications
- applicable regulations
Why conduct a quality audit in your internal laboratories?
Quality audits offer many benefits.
First of all, they are a mandatory process for applying for several certifications, particularly ISO certifications.
In addition, quality audits help detect non-conformities and initiate corrective actions within an organization. They also provide an opportunity to highlight strengths and good practices.
A quality audit must be conducted by qualified auditors, meaning auditors trained in quality audit techniques and able to plan audits, carry them out on site, write audit reports and monitor the resulting actions. Therefore, working with a laboratory specialized in quality audits is an essential step.
