4 1. Introduction Testing and Calibration laboratories are required to comply with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2005 General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories and Medical Testing laboratories have to comply with the requirements of ISO 15189:2007 Medical laboratories Particular requirements for quality and competence. One of the pre-requisite for seeking NABL Accreditation is that applicant laboratory shall submit its Quality Manual, describing its policies, the structure of management system documentation and compliance to ISO/IEC or ISO 15189, as applicable & relevant NABL Specific Criteria. In preparing the Quality Manual, it should not be restricted to the contents of this guide. However, all elements of ISO/IEC or ISO as applicable must be addressed in the intended Quality Manual. As an illustration this document provides guidance to Testing and Calibration laboratories for addressing the requirements of ISO/IEC in their Quality Manual. Similarly, the requirements of ISO can be addressed by Medical Testing laboratories in their Quality Manual. The amount of details to be provided in the manual will vary depending upon the size, field of activities, and nature of testing / calibration performed by the laboratory. The Quality Manual shall include or make reference to other documents such operational procedures, work instructions, forms etc. For preparing the Quality Manual, the laboratory may also get its technical personnel trained in NABL s training program on management system for laboratory personnel. A calendar of such training courses is regularly published in the NABL News/ web-site. Issue No: 05 Issue Date: Amend No: 00 Amend Date: -- Page No: 3/ 59

5 2. Process of preparing a Quality Manual The management should nominate individuals from one or more functional area/ section of the laboratory and a Quality Manager, having a background of Management Systems. This group should get fully acquainted with all NABL documents and understand the assessment procedure & methodology of making an application. Relevant requirements for NABL accreditation should be discussed amongst concerned staff of the laboratory. The team should collectively make the effort to prepare the Quality Manual with the guidance of the Quality Manager. Laboratory needs to ascertain the status of its existing management system and its competence. For that all existing policies, objectives, procedures, work instruction whether documented or otherwise are required to be listed and compared with the requirements of ISO/IEC or ISO as applicable, relevant NABL Specific criteria and other requirements. The laboratory should examine that the existing management system is appropriate or it needs modification or it needs to be built from scratch. The laboratory will be able to decide. However, it is advisable that the laboratory writes the manual afresh, as the elements of ISO/ IEC or ISO are quite different from other Quality Management System standards, even though the system elements are similar. It must be remembered that Quality Manual is a policy document, which has to be supplemented by a set of other documents like procedure manuals, work instructions, forms, reports etc. to align the management system in accordance with ISO/IEC or ISO 15189, as applicable and relevant NABL specific criteria. Therefore, the management system of the laboratory needs to be structured. Issue No: 05 Issue Date: Amend No: 00 Amend Date: -- Page No: 4/ 59

6 The management system of the laboratory can be structured in many ways. A typical structure of management system document hierarchy, generally followed, is given below: Quality Manual (Level A) Management system Procedures (Level B) Other quality documents (Work instructions, forms, reports, etc.) (Level C) The order of development of a hierarchy for an individual laboratory usually starts with the development of the laboratory s Quality Policy & objectives followed by the implementation plan of the various elements of ISO/IEC or ISO as applicable in brief. This is the apex document or Level A document termed as the Quality Manual. The Quality Manual has to be supplemented by a set of management system procedures, Level B documents, which describe the detailed procedures of the activities of individual function units needed to implement the management system. All procedures are cross referred in the Quality Manual. Management system procedures may further be supplemented with detailed work instructions, forms, reports etc. termed as Level C documents. In some hierarchy systems, forms and reports may be grouped as Level D documents. Issue No: 05 Issue Date: Amend No: 00 Amend Date: -- Page No: 5/ 59

7 The quantity of documented procedures, work instructions, forms, reports etc. and the nature of their format and presentation are to be determined by the individual functional units. However, it is preferred that each of these set of documents are arranged in the same structure and format so that the users become familiar with the consistent approach applied to each requirement and to improve the likelihood of systematic compliance with ISO/IEC or ISO as applicable.

8 3. Structure and Format of Quality Manual There is no required structure or format for a Quality Manual. However, any Quality Manual should convey accurately, completely and concisely the Quality Policy, objectives, address or reference to the next level of documentation and management responsibilities of the laboratory. One of the methods of assuring that the subject matter is adequately addressed and located would be to align the sections of the Quality Manual to the elements of the ISO/IEC or ISO as applicable. Other approaches, such as structuring the manual to reflect the nature of the laboratory or nature of work carried out by the laboratory are equally acceptable. This guide is not intended to define a unique structure, format, content or method of presentation for the Quality Manual, which can be applied to all (or even some) laboratories. It is unique to each laboratory. However, it is recommended that the first few pages of the Quality Manual should address to the sections of general information like title, authority under which it is issued, scope of the Quality Manual, amendment record of the manual, contents of the manual, references to other documents, definitions and abbreviations used, distribution record, brief description of the laboratory and the management system. After these pages, should place the section on Quality Policy and Objectives of the laboratory. The Quality Policy is required to be stated under clause 4.2 of management requirements. It is preferred that it is placed after the introductory pages, since this is the basic objective, the laboratory s management system is designed to meet. The remaining sections of the Quality Manual should describe all applicable elements of the ISO/IEC or ISO The description of these sections of the Quality Manual should be in a sequence similar to that of ISO/IEC or ISO 15189, as applicable. Other sequencing or cross-referencing, as appropriate to the laboratory, is acceptable. Issue No: 05 Issue Date: Amend No: 00 Amend Date: -- Page No: 7/ 59

9 Thereafter the list of documents, records and forms maintained by the laboratory should be placed. Any supportive data, to be provided should be annexed at the last. A brief explanation of these sections has been given below. These sections, should preferably be sequenced in the manner as given below: Title The title of the Quality Manual should clearly indicate the name of the laboratory to which the manual belongs. It should also indicate the issue number, issue date, holders name and the copy number. A typical title page is shown at page 11. Release Authorisation The section on release authorisation should indicate the authority under which the Quality Manual has been released. The management responsible for the implementation of Quality Manual, normally the Head of the laboratory should authorise its release for usage. Each copy should bear evidence of this release. A typical release authorisation is shown at page 12. Table of contents The table of contents of a Quality Manual should show the titles of the sections within it and how they can be located. The numbering system of sections, subsections, pages, figures, exhibits, diagrams, tables, etc., should be clear and logical. A typical table of contents is shown at page 14. Issue No: 05 Issue Date: Amend No: 00 Amend Date: -- Page No: 8/ 59

10 Scope and field of application This section of the Quality Manual should clearly mention the compliance to the applicable standard(s) and NABL documents. It should also define the field(s)/ discipline(s)/ area(s) and the section(s)/ division(s) department(s) of the laboratory, to which the Quality Manual is applicable. To ensure clarity and avoid confusion, the use of disclaimers (eg. what is not covered by the Quality Manual and situations where it should not be applied) may also be mentioned. Use of references Wherever appropriate, and to avoid unnecessary document volume, reference to existing recognised standards or documents available with the Quality Manual user should be incorporated. Definitions Although it is recommended, when practical, to use standard definitions and terms which are referenced in recognised quality terminology documents or in general dictionary usage, this section of the Quality Manual should contain the definitions of terms and concepts that are uniquely used within the Quality Manual. The use of references to existing concepts, terminology, definitions and standards (eg. ISO 8402) is highly recommended. Abbreviations Whenever the abbreviations are used, its expanded form should be defined in this section. Issue No: 05 Issue Date: Amend No: 00 Amend Date: -- Page No: 9/ 59

11 Distribution of the manual The method of distribution of the authorised manual should provide assurance that all users have appropriate access. Proper distribution and control can be aided, for example, by serialisation of copies for recipients. Management should ensure that individuals are familiar with those contents of the manual appropriate to each user within the laboratory. A typical distribution record is shown at page 15. Introduction The introductory pages of a Quality Manual should provide general information about the laboratory concerned and the Quality Manual itself. The minimum information about the laboratory should be its name, site, location and means of communication. Additional information about the laboratory, such as its line of business, a brief description of its background, history or size, may also be included. The information about the Quality Manual itself should include: a The current issue number, date of issue and identification of amended contents b c A brief description of how the Quality Manual is revised and maintained, who reviews its content and how often, who is authorised to change the Quality Manual, and who is authorised to approve it, this information may also be give under the system element concerned; a method for determining the history of any change in procedure may be included, if appropriate A brief description of the documented procedures used to identify the status and to control the distribution of the Quality Manual, whether or not is contains confidential information, whether it is used only for the laboratory s internal purposes, or whether it can be made available externally Issue No: 05 Issue Date: Amend No: 00 Amend Date: -- Page No: 10/ 59

12 d Evidence of approval by those responsible for authorisation of the contents of the Quality Manual. Quality Policy and Objectives This section of a Quality Manual should state the laboratory s Quality Policy and objectives, which should be in line with the requirements of clause 4.2 of ISO/IEC or ISO 15189, as applicable. This is where the laboratory commitment to quality is presented and where the laboratory s objectives for quality are outlines. This section should also describe how the Quality Policy is made known to, and understood by, all employees and how it is implemented and maintained at all levels. Elements of the Management system The subsequent sections of the Quality Manual should describe all the elements of the ISO/IEC or ISO as applicable. The format or method of presentation for the description of management system elements, which can be applied, is unique to each laboratory. However it is recommended that the description of the elements of the management system be in a sequence similar to that of ISO/IEC or ISO 15189, as applicable. Further the description of each element should be divided into logical sub-sections revealing a well-coordinated management system. This may be done by inclusion of policy and objectives with respect to the element or reference to the policy, scope, person(s)/ position responsible for executing that policy, documented management system procedures and reference to records for each element. The management system procedure of each element of Quality Manual, wherever applicable, should be briefly outlined, covering the major aspects of respective clause of ISO/IEC or ISO The actual process/ procedure may be covered in separate procedure document and cross referred in the Quality Manual.
