摘要
The introduction of quality management systems (QMS) and the accreditation of laboratories according to ISO/IEC 17025 standard are not easy tasks, mainly for those laboratories located at teaching and research institutions. During the implementation of QMS at two testing laboratories of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul in Brazil, new solutions to overcome some of the difficulties inherent to this type of environment have been found. The knowledge acquired through this work has led to the proposition of some general steps incorporating a process approach presented in this article, which could be of use to laboratories in their pursuit for accreditation. This proposal suggests the use of strategic planning information, links the QMS objectives to the corresponding processes and sets a few indicators to monitor both performance of and improvements to the system.
