Quality Manual: Section 4.4 to 4.6 - How to arrange testing lab for for Review of requests, tenders & contracts, Subcontracting of tests, Purchasing, services and supplies?

4.4   Review of requests, tenders & contracts 

1   PTL has established and maintained a documented procedure (PTL/QSP/22) for the review of requests, tenders, and contractors. The Policy and procedure for the review of the contract for testing ensure that;

a)       the requirements of testing including the test method to be used are adequately defined,    documented, and understood

b)       the capability of the laboratory and availability of resources to meet the requirements of testing.

c)       the sectional of the appropriate test methods to ensure the capability of meeting the customer requirements.

Differences between the request for testing and the contract are resolved prior to commence the testing.

While conducting the contract review, financial, legal, and time schedule aspects are considered to conduct a review in an effective manner.

 


The capability of the laboratory is assessed on the basis of physical, personnel, and information resources including the skill and expertise of the laboratory personnel required for testing. The PTL considers the result of participation in ILC and/or PT and/or the running of the trial test by using samples or items of known value in order to determine the uncertainty of measurement, the limit of detection, confidence limits, etc.      

PTL accepts only written contracts provided by the customer with testing.

4.4.2 PTL maintains all the records of reviews, including any significant changes.  Records maintained of pertinent discussions with a customer relating to the customer’s requirements or the results of the work during the period of execution of the contract. 

4.4.3 PTL does not subcontract for any testing work. (No Subcontracting)

4.4.4 In case of any deviation from the contract the customer is informed about the deviation accordingly. 

4.4.5 In case any contract needs amendment after work has been started, the same contract review process is repeated and amendments are communicated to the concerned personnel.

 4.5       Subcontracting of tests

 At present no testing is being carried out by any of the subcontractors and hence this clause is not applicable to the laboratory

4.6        Purchasing, services, and supplies

Policy

The PTL is committed to Purchasing good quality material(s) and services, which affect the quality of testing.    

4.6.1    The PTL has a policy & procedure (PTL/QSP/03) for the selection and purchasing of services and supplies that affect the quality of the test. Procedure (PTL/QSP/03) exists for the purchase, reception, and storage of reagents and laboratory consumable materials relevant to the tests.

4.6.2     The PTL laboratory ensures that purchased supplies and reagents and consumable materials that affect the quality of tests are not used until they have been inspected or otherwise verified as complying with standard specifications or requirements defined in the methods for the tests concerned. These services and supplies are used to comply with specified requirements. Records of actions taken to check compliance are maintained.

4.6.3    Purchasing documents for items affecting the quality of laboratory output contain data describing the services and supplies ordered. These purchasing documents are reviewed and approved for technical content prior to release.

The description may include type, class, grade, precise identification, specifications, drawings, inspection instructions, and other technical data including approval of test results, the quality required, and the management system standard under which they were made.

4.6.4     The laboratory evaluates suppliers of critical consumables, supplies, and services that affect the quality of testing and maintains records of these evaluations and lists of those approved. The procedure for the Identification and evaluation of critical consumables has been documented. (PTL/QSP/23)
