Accreditation Assistance
We investigate, perform corrective action, and document quality incidents, customer complaints, non-conforming work, low proficiency sample ratings, and assessment findings
Calibration Review
We review all in-house verification and external calibration procedures and records for compliance with quality standards
Document Control
We develop a documented quality management system with a quality manual, operating procedures, and forms for proper record keeping
Technician Evaluation
We develop an in-house technician training and competency evaluation program for your scope of testing
Internal Auditing
We perform on-site evaluations to measure how well your lab is fulfilling the requirements of your quality system manual and various published quality standards
Technician Certification
We proctor written and performance examinations for external certification to meet requirements of ASTM quality systems C1077, C1093, D3666, D3740, and E329
Continuous Improvement
Effective lab operating procedures ensure that customer, agency, and accreditation requirements are all met, so that fewer costly deficiencies exist that need correction.
Whether you are a client or not, we applaud your efforts to spend the necessary resources on your quality system. When labs have efficient procedures, documented in a robust quality management system, performed by trained employees it reduces or eliminates rework and errors that consume further resources to correct. Visit our Cost of Quality page to see how spending resources on quality is always paid back with interest.
