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.
