Quality System

Quality Management System:

• Digital Forensic laboratories seeking accreditation are required to establish, implement, and maintain a Quality Management System appropriate to the scope of their activities.

• Must have documented policies, systems, programs, procedures, and instructions to assure the quality of the test results.

• Quality Management System policies related to quality must be documented in a Quality Manual.

• Quality Management System must include or make reference to supporting technical and administrative procedures.

• Must outline the structure of the documentation used in the Quality Manual.

• Requires a Quality Policy Statement (objectives) that covers management's commitment to:

   

  • Professional practice.

  • Standards of service.

  • The purpose of the QMS.

  • Provide assurances that laboratory members are aware of the quality documentation.

  • Ensuring the implementation of applicable policies and procedures.

  • Maintain compliance with ISO 17025.

• Roles and responsibilities of technical management and the Quality Manager must be defined.

• Upper level management must ensure the integrity of the Quality Management System.

• The design, development, and implementation of the Quality Management System will be a difficult task!
