SUMMARY:ISO/IEC 17020 Bridging the Gap
DESCRIPTION:This course focuses on the changes introduced in ISO/IEC 17020:2026 and their impact on inspection bodies currently operating to ISO/IEC 17020:2012. Specifically\, the course highlights revised\, relocated\, and removed requirements\, the updated structure of the standard\, and alignment with ISO/CASCO common elements. \nIn addition\, the course addresses higher-impact and higher-risk areas\, including inspection body classification (Type A and non-Type A)\, independence and impartiality\, personnel competence\, externally provided products and services\, inspection methods and records\, control of data and information\, and management system requirements. Furthermore\, participants examine how these changes affect existing management systems and inspection activities.  As a result\, they gain a clearer understanding of how to maintain competence\, consistency\, and impartiality throughout the transition.

SUMMARY:Applied Measurement Uncertainty for Calibration and Testing Laboratories
DESCRIPTION:Applied Measurement Uncertainty for Testing and Calibration Laboratories is a comprehensive course designed for professionals seeking to strengthen their understanding of measurement uncertainty in line with ISO/IEC 17025 requirements. Through a mix of instruction and hands-on practical exercises\, participants will explore key concepts such as error\, accuracy\, precision\, repeatability\, reproducibility\, and metrological traceability. The course also introduces essential frameworks and references\, including the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM\, JCGM 100) and the International Vocabulary of Metrology (VIM\, JCGM 200)\, ensuring participants can apply internationally recognized methodologies with confidence. \nThis training provides a structured approach to defining and analyzing uncertainty\, including building and interpreting uncertainty budgets\, applying statistical tools such as mean\, variance\, and t-distribution\, and evaluating contributing factors in measurement processes.

SUMMARY:ISO/IEC 17020 Bridging the Gap
DESCRIPTION:Inspection bodies independently review and assess companies claiming conformance to stakeholder requirements (also called schemes)\, on behalf of private organizations and government authorities. These stakeholder requirements may include regulations\, documentary standards\, specifications\, inspection schemes\, or contractual obligations. Inspections can involve the review of materials\, products\, installations\, plants\, processes\, work procedures\, or services. Furthermore\, results are reported to stakeholders in a structured and transparent way. \nImportantly\, inspections can be performed at all stages of production. From the design phase through to final inspection\, and can also include testing and calibration activities (see ISO/IEC 17025). \nThe ISO/IEC 17020 Gap Training Course is designed to help inspection bodies\, auditors\, and quality managers understand the most significant updates from the previous version. As a result\, participants gain the tools needed to close compliance gaps and align with international best practices. \nThe course focuses on the following updates: \n\nReformatting to match the latest structure of Conformity Assessment standards\nRevised categorization of inspection bodies: from Type A/B/C to Type A and Type Non-A\nNew definition of “item”\, clarifying its role in inspection activities\nAdditional sub-clauses emphasizing independence\, impartiality\, oversight of externally provided products and services\, control of data and information\, and managing risks and opportunities\nReclassification of documents and records to improve documentary traceability and compliance

SUMMARY:Improving the Corrective Action Process
DESCRIPTION:The course provides participants with tools to react more successfully to non-conforming events in their organizations. Participants will identify and analyze non-conforming scenarios using a variety of techniques and will practice using various cause analysis and corrective action selection processes to support process improvement. This course supplements\, and is supplemented by\, the “Managing Risk in your Organization” course also offered by A2LA WorkPlace Training. When combined with a robust understanding of ISO/IEC conformity assessment standards\, these three courses will enable attendees to excel at preventing common non-conformities and to respond effectively to the few incidents that “slip through the cracks” of their organization’s management systems.
