The objective is to familiarize HPS Laboratory Accreditation Program technical assessors and others with the requirements of the assessment program. The training will describe the program documentation, incorporated elements of ISO/IEC 17025, the accreditation process, and will specifically address technical requirements for instrument calibration and source manufacturing laboratories. The training is required for all members of the HPS Laboratory Accreditation Assessment Committee and is recommended for facilities interested in accreditation. The HPS program is similar to other ISO/IEC 17025 based accreditation programs and the training will be useful for anyone interested in the accreditation process. The program will also provide an opportunity for the student to practice identification of non-compliant items.
