Development of a Prototype Management Software for Testing Laboratories Quality Control under ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Standard

In the so-called Total Quality Era, it is necessary to implement standardized and recognized experimental procedures around the world. When testing laboratories are adapted to the requirements set forth in ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard, the evaluation of results and the exchange of knowledge becomes easier and more dynamic. This adaptation can be simplified and accelerated through the use of a data management software. Thus, the objective of this work was to develop a platform for quality control of a chemical testing laboratory, focusing on compliance with managerial and technical requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard. The developed software allows not only data recording, but also the comparison of the analysis results with limit values established by current legislation, guaranteeing greater reliability of the reports issued. The created prototype is useful in ensuring high efficiency of the activities of chemical testing laboratories, making the workflow faster and safer, aside from guaranteeing compliance with the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard.
