What is a CompaLab QCRM?

Our QCRMs do more than simply meet requirement 7.7.1 of ISO/IEC 17025.

Thanks to the PTs (proficiency testing comparisons) it organises, CompaLab has access to samples whose characteristics are known with precision ( mean values, repeatability and reproducibility standard deviations).

Using CompaLab QCRM means you can constantly monitor whether :

Laboratory bias remains under control;
A drift in the test results appears;
The laboratory's repeatability remains under control;
The uncertainty determined by the laboratory remains consistent with its test results.

CompaLab QCRMs are optimised

Thanks to the use of PT results, the alert limits are much more reliable than those of a traditional QCRM: no risk of false alerts or undetected alerts;
All CompaLab's technical and statistical experience has been used to determine the control charts best suited to monitoring test processes;
The test results collected are also used to provide other useful information for the laboratory (influence of different equipment and operators on the quality of test results).
They can be used to qualify an operator or a piece of test equipment.

CompaLab QCRMs save you a lot of study and implementation work

CompaLab QCRMs are made up of:

A set of samples with known characteristics (property values, repeatability and reproducibility standard deviations);
An Excel file that generates control charts and other calculations useful for monitoring test quality;
An explanatory note to help you understand the meaning of the calculations made and easily interpret the results obtained.
