CIQ Audit offers a complete service for Development and Maintenance of Quality Management Systems in the Laboratory and Manufacturing Sectors using the ISO 17025 & ISO 9001 standards.

Accreditation or Certification to a recognised quality management standard by a third party gives customers confidence in products & services.

Manufacturers generally use the ISO 9001 standard (‘Quality management system requirements’).  Systems are assessed by a certification body which should be accredited by UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service).

Laboratories demonstrate their competence by accreditation to ISO 17025 (‘General requirements for the competence of testing & calibration laboratories’). This is assessed directly by UKAS.

CIQ Audit provides the assistance you need to meet and maintain the requirements of these standards. 

The benefits of using CIQ Audit to assist with your quality system include:

• Staff remain at activities that add value directly
• An understanding of the need for a practical, cost effective, quality system
• An independent view of the quality system
• Audit schedules and other routines kept up to date
• Training time and cost is reduced
