Environmental Labs

Environmental labs face a unique set of compliance challenges and the expectations are constantly increasing.

For labs seeking to achieve or maintain accreditation to complex standards like ISO 17025 or TNI, an eQMS like Qualtrax can be exactly what you need. Qualtrax is an all-in-one platform that offers secure document management and a testing and training component to help with document competency. Most importantly, our industry-leading workflow builder allows you to automate any paper-based task while preventing deviation from your process and guaranteeing appropriate documentation. Taking this one step further, we’ve researched and created an impressive set of best-in-class workflows specifically designed for environmental labs.

After researching the unique needs of our environmental lab customers, we have created a set of Qualtrax Best-In-Class Environmental Workflows. These workflows are designed to help labs meet the needs of increasing compliance pressures (like TNI, ISO 17025, etc) and automate complicated processes in order to streamline lab efficiency and make compliance and accreditation easier.

Qualtrax Best-in-Class Environmental Workflows

• AUDIT WORKFLOW

  The audit process captures the assigning, auditing, and reviewing of subsequent findings which could launch the CAR workflow. A TNI variation of our Internal Audit Workflow, with the capabilities for tracking both an external and internal audit.

• NONCONFORMANCE REPORT

  This workflow is used to report possible nonconformances and review these reports to determine whether corrective action is needed. This has the ability to launch a Corrective Action Workflow for each reported Deficiency, copying the information alongside it.

• CORRECTIVE ACTION

  Launched out of the Nonconformance Report Workflow, enables tracking of an entire Corrective Action Plan from root cause analysis, to implementing a plan, to housing a completed record. This includes an ability to rework the Corrective Action if necessary.

• EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE & LAUNCHER

  Designed to assist with device calibration, repair, and general maintenance requests. There is a parent workflow that allows individual maintenance instances to be sent on either an automated or manually entered schedule.

• DEMONSTRATION OF CAPABILITY LOG

  Assists in logging the ability of analysts to generate analytical results of acceptable accuracy and precision. Contains the ability to manage On-Going Demonstration of Capabilities, kick off new ones, and can contain the necessary Testing Strategies in the body of the workflow.

• VENDOR APPROVAL

  Encompasses approval for accredited and non-accredited vendors. Following the vetting and approval of a vendor, the workflow can serve as a record of approval. The workflow is set to reopen for re-evaluation when a selected date occurs, ensuring vendor approvals are maintained in the future.

• CUSTOMER COMPLAINT

  Allows your team to record any customer complaints and act on them accordingly. You will be presented with options to acknowledge the complaint and close it out or dig deeper into a root cause investigation. Once the complaint is reviewed and root cause is determined, you can launch a Corrective Action Workflow before finalizing the record.
