Two exclusive conferences focusing on "Reference Material (RM) Producers" organized by National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories (NABL) are scheduled to be held on January 10, 2025 in Raipur and March 28, 2025 in Hyderabad. These events are organized to provide a comprehensive overview of ISO 17034 requirements, delve into recent updates in NABL accreditation processes, and enhance understanding of reference material production.
The conferences aim to gather potential RM producers, laboratory top management, and quality professionals to support advancements in material standardization and quality control across the industry.
The sessions will begin with an in-depth discussion on fundamental terminology, including Reference Material (RM) - Substances with established property values, used for calibration or method validation in analytical processes, Certified Reference Material (CRM) - Reference materials that come with a certificate documenting the exact values and uncertainties associated with their properties, ensuring high standards in measurement accuracy, essential concepts for RM producers to guarantee the accuracy and comparability of measurements.
Attendees will gain a clear understanding of these critical terms and the significance of RMs in improving laboratory precision and compliance across industries.
A primary focus of the conference will be a detailed overview of ISO 17034, the internationally recognized standard for RM producers.
ISO 17034 mandates that RM producers adhere to stringent quality and management standards, covering technical elements such as homogeneity, stability testing, and documentation. The standard specifies the need for skilled personnel and rigorous documentation to ensure RMs are produced with accurate and reliable properties.
ISO 17034 integrates quality management with a focus on continual improvement, ensuring RM production is reliable and consistent over time. The standard emphasizes robust methods for material characterization, testing, and certification to maintain high confidence in RM values.
It will also equip RM producers and quality professionals with the knowledge required to align their processes with ISO 17034 standards, contributing to enhanced quality assurance in analytical laboratories.
The conference will also cover the latest updates from NABL concerning the accreditation process for RM producers, including recent amendments to NABL documents and guidelines.
NABL has introduced improvements in the application review, auditing, and surveillance mechanisms to make the accreditation process more efficient and transparent. NABL’s recent updates focus on aligning RM production practices with ISO 17034 requirements, ensuring RMs meet international quality benchmarks.
The conference is designed for potential RM Producers - Individuals or organizations interested in producing RMs and CRMs to support precise measurement and analytical standards, decision-makers from laboratories who wish to enhance compliance and quality control processes.
These events are expected to draw significant interest from professionals in the field of laboratory accreditation, quality management, and reference material production.
