"ISO/IEC 17025: History and introduction of concepts"

Quality is an increasingly present concept nowadays, and meeting the needs of customers who buy and use products and hire services becomes essential. For laboratories, the concept is applied not only to the reliability and traceability of the results produced, but it also presents itself in meeting the customer’s needs and providing confidence when signing agreements in the international trade. The concept of quality in a laboratory can be carried out from the development and implementation of a quality management system (QMS). To this end, the normative, internationally accepted document ISO/IEC 17025 aims at instructing the development and implementation of a management system, which ideally proves the technical capacity of testing and calibration laboratories and guides the generation of reliable results ...

LIMSwiki has yet another guide for you, this time involving the ISO/IEC 17025 standard. The first edition of the LIMS Selection Guide for ISO/IEC 17025 Laboratories is now live for your perusal. This guide looks at the ISO/IEC 17025-certified laboratory, what roles it plays in society, the efforts it must go to remain compliant, and the benefits is discovers by doing so. It also examines the unique laboratory informatics system requirements for these labs, turning to LIMSpec for clues as to what those systems need to do to help such labs better comply to the standard. Additional resources and request for information guidance is also provided. Enjoy! Shawn Douglas (talk) 16:30, 6 March 2023 (UTC)

Food Safety 1.svg
First, happy 2023 to you all! With a new year comes a new guide for LIMSwiki, keying in on some of that food and beverage content described in December 2022. Just released is the LIMS Selection Guide for Food Safety and Quality. Similar in vein to the Laboratory Informatics Buyer's Guide for Medical Diagnostics and Research released this time last year, this new guide recognizes the important role the food and beverage laboratory plays in our society towards food and beverage safety and quality, as well as the increasing need for systems like the laboratory information management system (LIMS) to enhance the lab's safety and quality efforts. The guide examines what these labs do, what standards and regulations affect them, and the traits the lab's LIMS should have to best improve the lab's activities. It also provides helpful information about food and beverage LIMS acquisition, including a LIMS requirements specification and information on how to best put it to use. Hope you find it useful.
