In any of the 5 star hotels. The exact venue will be informed once finalized.

The quality management of the laboratory according to an international standard is very important to enhance the laboratory system and laboratory environment. Laboratories use ISO 17025 to implement a quality system aimed at improving their ability to consistently produce valid results. A careful analysis of tasks and working with safety conditions will lead to redesign of the working environment that will enhance worker performance. The course provides advance knowledge and standard operation, calibration and troubleshooting of gas chromatography according to the ISO 17025 guideline.

Objective

Understand the laboratory quality requirements and appreciate the need for a quality system according to the International Standards Organization ISO 17025.
Understand the significance of calibration methods and traceability.
Identify the factors which have to be considered when choosing a GC method.
Understand how to validate analytical methods of gas chromatography.
Recognize the characteristics of a laboratory environment which can affect the performance of gas chromatography and hence influence the validity of measurements.
Use the standard methods for the gas chromatography operation, calculation and analyses report.
Use a standard method for gas chromatography troubleshooting.
Use a standard safety work in the laboratory.

Audience

The course is designed for people who implement, maintain and review laboratory quality systems. It is suitable for all laboratory staff including managers, quality assurance officers, lab technicians, chemists, chemical engineers and instrument engineers.
