Abstract: | The experience of implementing a quality system on ISO 17025, and the accreditation of some tests for a university laboratory,
is presented in the example of the Environmental Radiology Laboratory. Such implementation in a university institution is
a difficult task, since the setting and environment are both unfavourable. The particularities are the collaboration of many
independent units of the university, and the involvement of teachers and young researchers who have to coordinate all these
different tasks, which makes the number of people working quite variable. Some specific aspects of the system are discussed.
The conclusion is that implementation of a quality system on ISO 17025 and accreditation are completely achievable, and are
helpful activities to put university members in touch with the real world and broaden their minds, which in the end has a
positive impact on research studies and academic content. |
