Closing remarks \nThe ISO\/IEC 17025 standard is one of several standards that prescribes quality management and quality systems to entities wishing to improve their operations and have a more positive impact on their customers. In particular, ISO\/IEC 17025 asks analytical, calibration, and sampling laboratories to demonstrate \"competence, impartiality, and consistent operation\" in its activities, enabled by a strong focus on implementing procedural and quality management mechanisms as a means towards meeting those goals. As Chapter 1 points out, laboratories are interwoven throughout our society\u2014conducting analytical, product development, research, and reference and calibration activities\u2014and we expect their resulting data to be timely, accurate, traceable, and secure. These expectations are represented in the ISO\/IEC 17025 standard. Labs benefit in many ways from complying with the standard, as Chapter 2 notes, but not without some sacrifice. However, these labs can benefit from laboratory informatics solutions like the laboratory information management system (LIMS) and their ability to streamline workflows and provide features that make ISO\/IEC 17025 compliance a less painful process.\nChoosing a LIMS for ISO\/IEC 17025 compliance is not necessarily a straightforward task. To be sure, researching business needs, building a list of system requirements, investigating LIMS vendors, and getting the desired LIMS implementation is a complicated process regardless of what industries your lab serves. Adding ISO\/IEC 17025 compliance to your lab's needs can easily add another layer of complication to the LIMS acquisition process, but it doesn't have to. Chapter 3 helps the lab through this process and identifies critical LIMS features that allow for better compliance with the standard, with the help of a freely available requirements specification called LIMSpec. We found that the LIMS with robust sample and method development tools, iron-clad security methods (including role-based access), and support for archiving and retrieving archived data\u2014among other functionality\u2014is critical to the ISO\/IEC 17025 lab. But there's more to consider as well, including cybersecurity, system flexibility, cost, implementation, and warranties. These complexities may be daunting for some lab managers, and Chapter 4 provides additional resources towards being more informed about those nuances. Finally, Chapter 5 walked the reader through how a requirements specification like LIMSpec, requests for information (RFIs), and system demonstrations all further help the lab make its final decisions and better ensure the lab is getting what it needs from the LIMS to better remain ISO\/IEC-compliant.\nAll said, ISO\/IEC 17025 compliance doesn't have to be as daunting a task as it sounds for the laboratory. A consistent and time-tested methodology of understanding the lab's needs, knowing the specifics of the standard, developing a requirements document, investigating LIMS vendors, and following through on a plan of action will do a lot towards meeting your lab's compliance goals. Hopefully this guide has been of use to you in that regard.\n\nCitation information for this chapter \nChapter: 6.

A compromise was made between keeping the hyperlinks in the first column readable and leaving enough room in the third column for a vendor to provide a response.

In fact, you may have taken LIMSpec, chosen a few critical requirements from it, added them to a few unique requirements of your own, and included them as part of an RFI or question and answer session with vendors. You then likely took those responses and added them to your wider overall specification, along with your own notes and observations from interacting with the vendor. This may have been repeated for several vendors and their offerings. \nAt this point, you're likely ready to either have those vendors complete the rest of the responses for their corresponding URS, or you may even be ready to narrow down your vendor selection. This all likely depends on what the initial fact finding revealed. How well did the vendors respond to your laboratory's unique set of needs? Were there critical areas that one vendor could address with their off-the-shelf solution but another vendor would have to address with custom coding? Did any of the vendors meet your budget expectations? Have you followed up on any references and customer experiences the vendors provided to you? \nIt may be that several vendors are appealing at this point, meaning it's time to have them respond to the rest of the URS. This makes not only for good due diligence, to better ensure most requirements can be met, but also a reviewable option for any \"tie-breaker\" you have between vendors. In reality, this tie-breaker scenario would rarely come up; more often, some other aspect of the software, company, or pricing will be a stronger limiter. However, you still want to get all those vendor responses, even if you've early on filtered your options down to one vendor.\nUltimately, your specification document may look similar to LIMSpec, or it may have a slightly different format. Many prospective buyers will develop a requirement specification in Microsoft Excel, but that has a few minor disadvantages. Regardless of format, you'll want to give plenty of space for vendors to submit a response to each requirement. (See the next section concerning a Microsoft Word version of LIMSpec.)\nAdditionally, remember that often is the case that after the URS is completed and final questions asked, no single vendor can meet all your needs. Be ready for this possibility, whether it be a functionality requirement or a budget issue. Know ahead of time where your laboratory is willing to be flexible, and how much flex you have. After all of your lab's preparation, and with a little luck, you've found a vendor that fits the bill, even if a few minor compromises had to be made along the way.\n\n\n\n\n\nSource: <a rel=\"external_link\" class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Book:LIMS_Selection_Guide_for_ISO\/IEC_17025_Laboratories\/Taking_the_next_step\/Finalize_the_requirements_specification_and_choose_a_vendor\">https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Book:LIMS_Selection_Guide_for_ISO\/IEC_17025_Laboratories\/Taking_the_next_step\/Finalize_the_requirements_specification_and_choose_a_vendor<\/a>\nNavigation menuPage actionsBookDiscussionView sourceHistoryPage actionsBookDiscussionMoreToolsIn other languagesPersonal toolsLog inRequest accountNavigationMain pageEncyclopedic articlesRecent changesRandom pageHelp about MediaWikiSearch\u00a0 ToolsWhat links hereRelated changesSpecial pagesPermanent linkPage informationPopular publications\r\n\n\t\r\n\n\t\r\n\n\t\r\n\n\t\r\n\n\t\r\n\n\t\r\nPrint\/exportCreate a bookDownload as PDFDownload as PDFDownload as Plain textPrintable version This page was last edited on 11 February 2023, at 22:57.Content is available under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License unless otherwise noted.This page has been accessed 9 times.Privacy policyAbout LIMSWikiDisclaimers\n\n\n\n","1396d8d19c4af1734d8a0d4300d4c1b7_html":"<body class=\"mediawiki ltr sitedir-ltr mw-hide-empty-elt ns-208 ns-subject page-Book_LIMS_Selection_Guide_for_ISO_IEC_17025_Laboratories_Taking_the_next_step_Finalize_the_requirements_specification_and_choose_a_vendor rootpage-Book_LIMS_Selection_Guide_for_ISO_IEC_17025_Laboratories_Taking_the_next_step_Finalize_the_requirements_specification_and_choose_a_vendor skin-monobook action-view skin--responsive\"><div id=\"rdp-ebb-globalWrapper\"><div id=\"rdp-ebb-column-content\"><div id=\"rdp-ebb-content\" class=\"mw-body\" role=\"main\"><a id=\"rdp-ebb-top\"><\/a>\n<h1 id=\"rdp-ebb-firstHeading\" class=\"firstHeading\" lang=\"en\">Book:LIMS Selection Guide for ISO\/IEC 17025 Laboratories\/Taking the next step\/Finalize the requirements specification and choose a vendor<\/h1><div id=\"rdp-ebb-bodyContent\" class=\"mw-body-content\"><!-- start content --><div id=\"rdp-ebb-mw-content-text\" lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\" class=\"mw-content-ltr\"><div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><div align=\"center\">-----Return to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Book:LIMS_Selection_Guide_for_ISO\/IEC_17025_Laboratories\/Introduction\" title=\"Book:LIMS Selection Guide for ISO\/IEC 17025 Laboratories\/Introduction\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"dd550e2b577ba2800fc166f51fa74557\">the beginning<\/a> of this guide-----<\/div>\n<h3><span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"5.4_Finalize_the_requirements_specification_and_choose_a_vendor\">5.4 Finalize the requirements specification and choose a vendor<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Now that the demonstrations have been conducted and more questions asked, you should be close to finalizing your requirement specification with one or more vendors.

Your RFI presumably included a small but critical set of requirements that needed to be addressed, and the vendors who responded dutifully addressed those critical requirements. Even if you didn't send out an RFI, you at least did your own research about some of the big players in the laboratory informatics space, and you may have even opened an initial dialogue with a few of them. If all has gone well, you're now at the point where you've narrowed down the pool of vendors but still have a basket of them to continue dialogue with. (If you're not comfortably at this point after an RFI or engagements with multiple vendors, you may need to either reconsider the effectiveness of your RFI or engagements or enlist help from a knowledgeable and experienced consultant to help steer you back on-course.)\nAs dialogue continues with vendors, you'll have several points to address:\n1. What do I want their laboratory information management system (LIMS) to do for me?\n2. How does their solution fit into our previously discussed budget?\nRegarding question one, you've already laid some of the groundwork for that with the help of your handful of critical requirements (and the associated research that went into developing them). Outside of those critical requirements, a laboratory informatics solution should also provide clearly definable benefits to how you operate your ISO\/IEC 17025 laboratory. These expected benefits should tie in with your overall business mission and goals. Using a LIMS as an example, here are a few of the benefits a well-developed LIMS can provide to practically any laboratory. Whenever you go through the discovery process with a vendor, you'll be asking how their system provides these and other benefits through its functionality. A quality LIMS can provide[1][2]:\n\nincreased accuracy: the minimization or elimination of transcription and other errors;\nstreamlined processes: ensuring each process step in a protocol\/method is completed in the proper order, with all requirements met, updating sample statuses automatically;\nautomation: integration with instruments, allowing for automatic uploading of samples and returning of results;\nregulatory and standards compliance: functionality that aids with compliance, including reporting results to state and local authorities;\ndata security: role-based, configurable, secure access to data, processes, reporting, etc.;\nflexible reporting: reporting tools that allows for the design and generation of certificates of authority and other reports to lab- and regulation-based specs;\ninstant data retrieval: query tools for finding data instantly according to any criteria (date range, test, product type, etc.); and\nconfigurability and cost-effectiveness: a user-configurable system (as opposed to hard-coded, requiring development for any modifications) that is flexible enough to adapt to rapid changes in test volume and type over time, without breaking the bank.\nAs for the second question, budgeting is always a tricky topic, both internally and when discussing it with vendors. We already mentioned in the previous section that addressing the acquisition and long-term maintenance budget of your solution(s) must be addressed as part of your lab's business considerations. (And we already mentioned some cost considerations in 3.1.6; this discussion will add a few more points.) The fact that laboratory informatics systems like the LIMS come in all kinds of price ranges makes it difficult to judge if a given system, as priced, is appropriate for your lab and its budget. There are some basic cost realities associated with LIMS acquisition[3][4], which will help you understand where the vendor price comes from, and how it figures into your lab's budget (though some of these concepts may also apply to other informatics systems).\n\n1. Vendor pricing is generally based on how many will be using the system. This can be measured in concurrent users (how many will be using the system at any one time) or named users (the number of total users who will ever use the system, by name). Additionally, laboratory informatics vendors increasingly offer the option of a cloud-hosted subscription, which of course has the advantage of not requiring your own IT department, and allowing labs to defray cost over time, with little or no actual license fee. Think about your usage strategy and choose the pricing format that makes the most sense for you.\n2. Most costs are related to the work involved with installing, configuring, and migrating data to the system. Try to choose a solution that has what you need out of the box, as much as possible. The more customized or unique options you ask for up-front, the more it tends to cost, as extra items are a function of the time it takes developers to add them.\n3. \"User-configurable\" beats \"vendor-configurable\" on cost-effectiveness. Some vendors offer a free or low-cost option, but don't be fooled. They are in business to make money, and they are counting on the fact that you'll need to pay them to make things work, add necessary functionality, and provide support and training. If you can find a vendor who offers a genuinely user-configurable system, and whose manuals and other support materials are clearly helpful and available so that you can adjust things the way you want, when you want, then that will go a long way toward budget efficiency and longevity.\n4. Additional interfaces and reporting requirements cost money. If necessary, consider phasing in any additional instrument and software interfaces over time, as revenue eases cash flow. You can go live with your system operations more quickly, entering results manually until you can afford to interface your instruments one-by-one. This goes for reports as well; a simple reporting module that meets regulatory requirements will do. You can make your reports and other exportable documents more attractive later.\nIdeally, your budget has room for roughly $40- to $80,000 minimum (including setup, training, interfaces, etc.) for a quality, full-featured professional LIMS or LIS, with $300 to $900 per month (depending on number of users) for ongoing subscriptions. At around five concurrent users, the economics start to favor purchasing perpetual licenses rather than paying for a subscription. Purchased licenses will also entail ongoing annual or monthly costs as well (e.g., maintenance, support, warranty for updates etc.) Subscriptions (if available) are generally aimed at smaller labs. If you will be growing and scaling up, it may be a great way to get started, but make sure you have the option to switch to perpetual licenses later. \nWith much of this information in hand, you're likely ready to move on to finalizing the requirements specification and choosing a vendor, but not before you've sat through a few highly useful demonstrations.\n\n5.3.1 The value of demonstrations \nParticipating in a demonstration of a laboratory informatics solution is an integral part of making your final decisions. The demo offers a unique and valuable opportunity to see in-person how data and information is added, edited, deleted, tracked, and protected within the context of the application; you can ask about how a function works and see it right then and there. Equally, it is an excellent time to compare notes with the vendor, particularly in regard to the critical requirements that were addressed in your RFI (or through direct communication with the vendor). You can ask the vendor in real-time to answer questions about how a specific task is achieved, or how the system addresses ISO\/IEC 17025 compliance needs, and the vendor can ask you about your lab's system and workflow requirements and how you best envision them being implemented in the system (e.g., does this interface seem intuitive?).\nA demonstration is typically performed online, which is useful for a couple of reasons, COVID-19 notwithstanding. First, it means you can schedule and reschedule at your convenience, with little in the way of logistics to arrange. Second, the demonstration session is likely to be recorded (though be sure to verify this), so everyone is clear on what was promised and what wasn't, how processes were shown to work, etc. Additionally, you can later review parts you may have missed, forgotten, or not quite understood, and you can share it with others, who then also get a look at the proposed system in action.\nBe careful about falling for the temptation of presenting a full URS or other specification document to the vendor during the demonstration. You'll want to wait until after participating in several software demonstrations to consider presenting your full specification document to the vendor, and that's assuming that you've grown enamored with their solution. By waiting to finalize your lab's requirements specification until after the demos, a common error is avoided: too often labs think the first thing they must do is create a requirements list, then sit back and let the informatics vendors tell them how they meet it. Remember that even though most labs thoroughly understand their processes, they likely don't have as strong a grasp on the informatics portion of their processes and workflows. Participating in a demo before finalizing your list of specified requirements\u2014or having only a minimal yet flexible requirements list during the demo\u2014is a great way to later crosscheck the software features you have seen demonstrated to your lab's processes and any initial requirements specification you've made.[5] After all, how can you effectively require specific functions of your laboratory informatics software if you don't fully know what such a system is capable of? After the demonstrations, you may end up adding several requirements to your final specifications document, which you later pass on to your potential vendors of choice for final confirmation.\n\nReferences \n\n\n\u2191 McLelland, A.

A quality LIMS can provide<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-McLelland98_1-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-McLelland98-1\">[1]<\/a><\/sup><sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-SciCompRisksBens_2-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-SciCompRisksBens-2\">[2]<\/a><\/sup>:\n<\/p>\n<ul><li>increased accuracy: the minimization or elimination of transcription and other errors;<\/li>\n<li>streamlined processes: ensuring each process step in a protocol\/method is completed in the proper order, with all requirements met, updating sample statuses automatically;<\/li>\n<li>automation: integration with instruments, allowing for automatic uploading of samples and returning of results;<\/li>\n<li>regulatory and standards compliance: functionality that aids with compliance, including reporting results to state and local authorities;<\/li>\n<li>data security: role-based, configurable, secure access to data, processes, reporting, etc.;<\/li>\n<li>flexible reporting: reporting tools that allows for the design and generation of certificates of authority and other reports to lab- and regulation-based specs;<\/li>\n<li>instant data retrieval: query tools for finding data instantly according to any criteria (date range, test, product type, etc.); and<\/li>\n<li>configurability and cost-effectiveness: a user-configurable system (as opposed to hard-coded, requiring development for any modifications) that is flexible enough to adapt to rapid changes in test volume and type over time, without breaking the bank.<\/li><\/ul>\n<p>As for the second question, budgeting is always a tricky topic, both internally and when discussing it with vendors. We already mentioned in the previous section that addressing the acquisition and long-term maintenance budget of your solution(s) must be addressed as part of your lab's business considerations. (And we already mentioned some cost considerations in 3.1.6; this discussion will add a few more points.) The fact that laboratory informatics systems like the LIMS come in all kinds of price ranges makes it difficult to judge if a given system, as priced, is appropriate for your lab and its budget. There are some basic cost realities associated with LIMS acquisition<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-CSolsHowMuch17_3-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-CSolsHowMuch17-3\">[3]<\/a><\/sup><sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-CSolsSaving18_4-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-CSolsSaving18-4\">[4]<\/a><\/sup>, which will help you understand where the vendor price comes from, and how it figures into your lab's budget (though some of these concepts may also apply to other informatics systems).\n<\/p>\n<dl><dd>1. Vendor pricing is generally based on how many will be using the system. This can be measured in concurrent users (how many will be using the system at any one time) or named users (the number of total users who will ever use the system, by name). Additionally, laboratory informatics vendors increasingly offer the option of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Cloud_computing\" title=\"Cloud computing\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"fcfe5882eaa018d920cedb88398b604f\">cloud-hosted<\/a> subscription, which of course has the advantage of not requiring your own IT department, and allowing labs to defray cost over time, with little or no actual license fee. Think about your usage strategy and choose the pricing format that makes the most sense for you.<\/dd><\/dl>\n<dl><dd>2. Most costs are related to the work involved with installing, configuring, and migrating data to the system. Try to choose a solution that has what you need out of the box, as much as possible. The more customized or unique options you ask for up-front, the more it tends to cost, as extra items are a function of the time it takes developers to add them.<\/dd><\/dl>\n<dl><dd>3. \"User-configurable\" beats \"vendor-configurable\" on cost-effectiveness. Some vendors offer a free or low-cost option, but don't be fooled. They are in business to make money, and they are counting on the fact that you'll need to pay them to make things work, add necessary functionality, and provide support and training. If you can find a vendor who offers a genuinely user-configurable system, and whose manuals and other support materials are clearly helpful and available so that you can adjust things the way you want, when you want, then that will go a long way toward budget efficiency and longevity.<\/dd><\/dl>\n<dl><dd>4. Additional interfaces and reporting requirements cost money. If necessary, consider phasing in any additional instrument and software interfaces over time, as revenue eases cash flow. You can go live with your system operations more quickly, entering results manually until you can afford to interface your instruments one-by-one. This goes for reports as well; a simple reporting module that meets regulatory requirements will do. You can make your reports and other exportable documents more attractive later.<\/dd><\/dl>\n<p>Ideally, your budget has room for roughly $40- to $80,000 minimum (including setup, training, interfaces, etc.) for a quality, full-featured professional LIMS or LIS, with $300 to $900 per month (depending on number of users) for ongoing subscriptions. At around five concurrent users, the economics start to favor purchasing perpetual licenses rather than paying for a subscription. Purchased licenses will also entail ongoing annual or monthly costs as well (e.g., maintenance, support, warranty for updates etc.) Subscriptions (if available) are generally aimed at smaller labs. If you will be growing and scaling up, it may be a great way to get started, but make sure you have the option to switch to perpetual licenses later. \n<\/p><p>With much of this information in hand, you're likely ready to move on to finalizing the requirements specification and choosing a vendor, but not before you've sat through a few highly useful demonstrations.\n<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"5.3.1_The_value_of_demonstrations\">5.3.1 The value of demonstrations<\/span><\/h4>\n<div class=\"floatleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/File:ForUM_demo_(2659615090).jpg\" class=\"image wiki-link\" data-key=\"6d24fe10a7ea5ad2ee42e7e70cca00b6\"><img alt=\"ForUM demo (2659615090).jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/5\/55\/ForUM_demo_%282659615090%29.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"360\" height=\"270\" \/><\/a><\/div><p>Participating in a demonstration of a laboratory informatics solution is an integral part of making your final decisions. The demo offers a unique and valuable opportunity to see in-person how data and information is added, edited, deleted, tracked, and protected within the context of the application; you can ask about how a function works and see it right then and there. Equally, it is an excellent time to compare notes with the vendor, particularly in regard to the critical requirements that were addressed in your RFI (or through direct communication with the vendor). You can ask the vendor in real-time to answer questions about how a specific task is achieved, or how the system addresses ISO\/IEC 17025 compliance needs, and the vendor can ask you about your lab's system and workflow requirements and how you best envision them being implemented in the system (e.g., does this interface seem intuitive?).\n<\/p><p>A demonstration is typically performed online, which is useful for a couple of reasons, COVID-19 notwithstanding. First, it means you can schedule and reschedule at your convenience, with little in the way of logistics to arrange. Second, the demonstration session is likely to be recorded (though be sure to verify this), so everyone is clear on what was promised and what wasn't, how processes were shown to work, etc. Additionally, you can later review parts you may have missed, forgotten, or not quite understood, and you can share it with others, who then also get a look at the proposed system in action.\n<\/p><p>Be careful about falling for the temptation of presenting a full URS or other specification document to the vendor during the demonstration. You'll want to wait until after participating in several software demonstrations to consider presenting your full specification document to the vendor, and that's assuming that you've grown enamored with their solution. By waiting to finalize your lab's requirements specification until after the demos, a common error is avoided: too often labs think the first thing they must do is create a requirements list, then sit back and let the informatics vendors tell them how they meet it. Remember that even though most labs thoroughly understand their processes, they likely don't have as strong a grasp on the informatics portion of their processes and workflows. Participating in a demo before finalizing your list of specified requirements\u2014or having only a minimal yet flexible requirements list during the demo\u2014is a great way to later crosscheck the software features you have seen demonstrated to your lab's processes and any initial requirements specification you've made.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-HammerHowTo19_5-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-HammerHowTo19-5\">[5]<\/a><\/sup> After all, how can you effectively require specific functions of your laboratory informatics software if you don't fully know what such a system is capable of? After the demonstrations, you may end up adding several requirements to your final specifications document, which you later pass on to your potential vendors of choice for final confirmation.\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"References\">References<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"reflist references-column-width\" style=\"-moz-column-width: 30em; -webkit-column-width: 30em; column-width: 30em; list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<div class=\"mw-references-wrap\"><ol class=\"references\">\n<li id=\"cite_note-McLelland98-1\"><span class=\"mw-cite-backlink\"><a href=\"#cite_ref-McLelland98_1-0\">\u2191<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"reference-text\"><span class=\"citation web\">McLelland, A.

The RFI and RFP are traditional means towards soliciting bidding interest in an organization's project, containing the organization's specific requirements and vital questions that the bidder should be able to effectively answer. However, even if your organization chooses to skip the RFI or RFP process and do most of the investigative work of researching and approaching informatics vendors, turning to a key set of questions typically found in an RFI is extremely valuable towards your fact finding.\nAn RFI is an ideal means for learning more about a potential solution and how it can solve your problems, or for when you're not even sure how to solve your problem yet. However, the RFI should not be unduly long and tedious to complete for prospective vendors; it should be concise, direct, and honest. This means not only presenting a clear and humble vision of your own organization and its goals, but also asking just the right amount of questions to allow potential vendors to demonstrate their expertise and provide a clearer picture of who they are. Some take a technical approach to an RFI, using dense language and complicated spreadsheets for fact finding. However, as previously noted, you will want to limit the specified requirements in your RFI to those carefully chosen\u2014for example, ISO\/IEC 17025-specific requirements\u2014because they matter to you and your lab the most.[1] \nRemember, an RFI is not meant to answer all of your questions. The RFI is meant as a means to help narrow down your search to a few quality candidates while learning more about each other.[1] Once the pool of potential software vendors is narrowed down, and you then participate in their demonstrations, you then can broadly add more requirements to the original collection of critical requirements from the RFI to ensure those providers meet all or most of your needs. That said, be cognizant that there may be no vendor that can meet each and every need of your lab. Your lab will have to make important decisions about which requirements are non-negotiable and which are more flexible. The vendors you engage with may be able to provide realistic advice in this regard, based upon your lab's requirements and their past experience with labs. As such, those vendors with real-world experience meeting the needs of ISO\/IEC 17025 laboratories may have a strong leg up on other vendors.\nAgain, a comprehensive specifications document like LIMSpec makes for one possible source from which you can draw the requirements that are most critical to be addressed in an RFI. If you have zero experience developing an RFI, you may want to first seek out LIMSpec and other various example RFIs on the internet, as well as some basic advice articles on the topic. Some websites may provide templates to examine for further details. Broadly speaking, if you're conducting a full RFI or RFP, you're going to lead with the standard components of an RFI or RFP, including:\n\na table of contents;\nan honest introduction and overview of your organization, its goals and problems, and the services sought to solve them;\ndetails on how the RFI or RFP evaluation process will be conducted;\nbasis for award (if an RFP);\nthe calendar schedule (including times) for related events;\nhow to submit the document and any related questions about it, including response format; and\nyour organization's background, business requirements, and current technical environment.\nBeing honest about your organization, its informatics requirements, and its current technical environment upfront in the RFI or RFP will also ensure that the time spent on the process is optimized for all involved parties. Before submitting any RFI, your lab will want to conduct thorough internal research ensuring everyone understands what the current technology and processes are, and how you all want to shape that with the introduction or updating of laboratory informatics systems. (If your lab has limited to no experience with adding automation and informatics elements to a laboratory, you may want to read through laboratory informatics veteran Joe Liscouski's The Application of Informatics to Scientific Work: Laboratory Informatics for Newbies for further insight.) You'll also want to answer critical questions such as \"who will be responsible for maintaining the solution and its security?\" and \"how will our processes and procedures change with the introduction or updating of informatics systems?\".

The RFI and RFP are traditional means towards soliciting bidding interest in an organization's project, containing the organization's specific requirements and vital questions that the bidder should be able to effectively answer. However, even if your organization chooses to skip the RFI or RFP process and do most of the investigative work of researching and approaching informatics vendors, turning to a key set of questions typically found in an RFI is extremely valuable towards your fact finding.\n<\/p><p>An RFI is an ideal means for learning more about a potential solution and how it can solve your problems, or for when you're not even sure how to solve your problem yet. However, the RFI should not be unduly long and tedious to complete for prospective vendors; it should be concise, direct, and honest. This means not only presenting a clear and humble vision of your own organization and its goals, but also asking just the right amount of questions to allow potential vendors to demonstrate their expertise and provide a clearer picture of who they are. Some take a technical approach to an RFI, using dense language and complicated spreadsheets for fact finding. However, as previously noted, you will want to limit the specified requirements in your RFI to those carefully chosen\u2014for example, ISO\/IEC 17025-specific requirements\u2014because they matter to you and your lab the most.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-HolmesItsAMatch_1-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-HolmesItsAMatch-1\">[1]<\/a><\/sup> \n<\/p><p>Remember, an RFI is not meant to answer all of your questions. The RFI is meant as a means to help narrow down your search to a few quality candidates while learning more about each other.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-HolmesItsAMatch_1-1\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-HolmesItsAMatch-1\">[1]<\/a><\/sup> Once the pool of potential software vendors is narrowed down, and you then participate in their demonstrations, you then can broadly add more requirements to the original collection of critical requirements from the RFI to ensure those providers meet all or most of your needs. That said, be cognizant that there may be no vendor that can meet each and every need of your lab. Your lab will have to make important decisions about which requirements are non-negotiable and which are more flexible. The vendors you engage with may be able to provide realistic advice in this regard, based upon your lab's requirements and their past experience with labs. As such, those vendors with real-world experience meeting the needs of ISO\/IEC 17025 laboratories may have a strong leg up on other vendors.\n<\/p><p>Again, a comprehensive specifications document like LIMSpec makes for one possible source from which you can draw the requirements that are most critical to be addressed in an RFI. If you have zero experience developing an RFI, you may want to first seek out LIMSpec and other various example RFIs on the internet, as well as some basic advice articles on the topic. Some websites may provide templates to examine for further details. Broadly speaking, if you're conducting a full RFI or RFP, you're going to lead with the standard components of an RFI or RFP, including:\n<\/p>\n<ul><li>a table of contents;<\/li>\n<li>an honest introduction and overview of your organization, its goals and problems, and the services sought to solve them;<\/li>\n<li>details on how the RFI or RFP evaluation process will be conducted;<\/li>\n<li>basis for award (if an RFP);<\/li>\n<li>the calendar schedule (including times) for related events;<\/li>\n<li>how to submit the document and any related questions about it, including response format; and<\/li>\n<li>your organization's background, business requirements, and current technical environment.<\/li><\/ul>\n<p>Being honest about your organization, its informatics requirements, and its current technical environment upfront in the RFI or RFP will also ensure that the time spent on the process is optimized for all involved parties. Before submitting any RFI, your lab will want to conduct thorough internal research ensuring everyone understands what the current technology and processes are, and how you all want to shape that with the introduction or updating of laboratory informatics systems. (If your lab has limited to no experience with adding <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Laboratory_automation\" title=\"Laboratory automation\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"0061880849aeaca05f8aa27ae171f331\">automation<\/a> and informatics elements to a laboratory, you may want to read through laboratory informatics veteran Joe Liscouski's <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/LII:The_Application_of_Informatics_to_Scientific_Work:_Laboratory_Informatics_for_Newbies\" title=\"LII:The Application of Informatics to Scientific Work: Laboratory Informatics for Newbies\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"d8b467af534a70312a21f63b61be26cd\"><i>The Application of Informatics to Scientific Work: Laboratory Informatics for Newbies<\/i><\/a> for further insight.) You'll also want to answer critical questions such as \"who will be responsible for maintaining the solution and its security?\" and \"how will our processes and procedures change with the introduction or updating of informatics systems?\".

Taking the next step \nIn section 3.4 of this guide, we briefly discussed how a user requirements specification (URS) fits into the process of purchasing laboratory informatics solutions for your ISO\/IEC 17025 laboratory. The URS has been viewed as a means for the purchaser to ensure their needs are satisfied by the functionality of the software. Traditionally, this has turned into a \"wish list\" for the purchaser, which while somewhat practical still lacks in its finesse. One common problem with this wishlist approach is the risk of \"requirements creep,\" where more functionality than is truly necessary is desired, inevitably leading to a state where no vendor can meet all the wishlisted requirements. This makes selecting a solution even more difficult, particularly without significant prioritization skills.[1][2][3]\nNoting the potential problems with this wishlist approach, LIMSpec\u2014a requirement specification document for laboratory informatics solutions\u2014took a new approach and turned to standards and regulations that drive laboratories of all types, as well as the data they manage. LIMSpec was rebuilt based on ASTM E1578-18 Standard Guide for Laboratory Informatics, as well as dozens of other standards (including ISO\/IEC 17025) and regulations, while still leaving room for a software buyer to add their own custom requirements for their industry or lab. \nThe rest of this chapter examines the research, documentation, and acquisition process that the ISO\/IEC 17025 lab needing laboratory informatics solutions will want to go through, with an emphasis on the utility of a sound requirements specification. While LIMSpec is offered as a solid starting point, you don't strictly need to use LIMSpec to conduct this process; the information in this chapter can largely be applied with or without LIMSpec itself. However, as section 3.1.2 of Chapter 3 pointed out, LIMSpec was built with standards like ISO\/IEC 17025 in mind, making it relevant to the lab using software to better conform to the standard.\n\r\n\n\n 5.1 Conduct initial research into a specification document tailored to your lab's needs \nA specification is \"a detailed precise presentation of something or of a plan or proposal for something.\"[4] This concept of a specification as a presentation is critical to the laboratory seeking to find laboratory informatics software that fulfills their needs; they \"present\" their use case with the help of a requirements specification, and the vendor \"presents\" their ability (or inability) to comply through documentation and demonstration (more on that later). However, even the most seasoned of presenters at conferences and the like still require quality preparation before the presentation. This is where initial specification research comes into play for the lab.\nYour lab's requirements specification document will eventually be a critical component for effectively selecting a laboratory informatics solution. There are numerous ways to approach the overall development of such a document. But why re-invent the wheel when others have already gone down that road? Sure, you could search for examples of such documents on the internet and customize them to your needs, or you and your team could brainstorm how a laboratory informatics solution should help your ISO\/IEC 17025 lab accomplish its goals. LIMSpec makes for one of the more thorough starting points to use, though you could also use other structured documents that have been developed by others. For the purposes of this guide, we'll look at LIMSpec.\nThe LIMSpec 2022 document is divided into five distinct sections, with numerous subsections in each:\n\nPrimary Laboratory Workflow\n1. Sample and experiment registration\n2. Sample management\n3. Core laboratory testing and experiments\n4. Results review and verification\n5. Sample, experiment, and study approval and verification\n6. Reporting\nMaintaining Laboratory Workflow and Operations\n7. Document and records management\n8. Resource management\n9. Compliance management\n10. Instrument and equipment management\n11. Batch and lot management\n12. Scheduled event management\n13. Instrument data capture and control\n14. Standard and reagent management\n15. Inventory management\n16. Investigation and quality management\nSpecialty Laboratory Functions (minus non-relevant industries)\n17. Production management\n18. Statistical trending and control charts\n19. Agriculture and food data management\n20. Environmental data management\n21. Forensic case and data management\n22. Clinical and public health data management\n23. Veterinary data management\n24. Scientific data management\n25. Health information technology\nTechnology and Performance Improvements\n26. Instrument data systems functions\n27. Systems integration\n28. Laboratory scheduling and capacity planning\n29. Lean laboratory and continuous improvement\n30. Artificial intelligence and smart systems\nSecurity and Integrity of Systems and Operations\n31. Data integrity\n32. Configuration management\n33. System validation and commission\n34. System administration\n35. Cybersecurity\n36. Information privacy\nThese sections and subsections should be able to address most any requirement you have for your system. Of course, if something isn't covered by LIMSpec, you can always add additional requirements. \nDuring the initial research towards your URS, you won't have to include every requirement for when you approach potential vendors. Most vendors appreciate a more inviting approach that doesn't overwhelm, at least initially. You will want to go with a limited yet practical set of requirements carefully chosen because they matter to you and your laboratory the most. In the case of a lab seeking a solution to help them better comply with ISO\/IEC 17025, one might want to make requirements related to the standard the practical starting point. (See Chapter 3, section 3.1.2, Table 1 for the full list.) Wherever you choose to start, you'll likely want to wait until after participating in several software demonstrations before even considering your URS to be complete. (More on that in 5.3.1.) This naturally leads us to a discussion about the request for information (RFI) process.\n\nReferences \n\n\n\u2191 Aasem, M.; Ramzan, M.; Jaffar, A.

However, even the most seasoned of presenters at conferences and the like still require quality preparation before the presentation. This is where initial specification research comes into play for the lab.\n<\/p><p>Your lab's requirements specification document will eventually be a critical component for effectively selecting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Laboratory_informatics\" title=\"Laboratory informatics\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"00edfa43edcde538a695f6d429280301\">laboratory informatics<\/a> solution. There are numerous ways to approach the overall development of such a document. But why re-invent the wheel when others have already gone down that road? Sure, you could search for examples of such documents on the internet and customize them to your needs, or you and your team could brainstorm how a laboratory informatics solution should help your ISO\/IEC 17025 lab accomplish its goals. LIMSpec makes for one of the more thorough starting points to use, though you could also use other structured documents that have been developed by others. For the purposes of this guide, we'll look at LIMSpec.\n<\/p><p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Book:LIMSpec_2022_R2\" title=\"Book:LIMSpec 2022 R2\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"df2e12ebefc2379e95f3f1956aac4400\">LIMSpec 2022<\/a> document is divided into five distinct sections, with numerous subsections in each:\n<\/p>\n<ul><li>Primary Laboratory Workflow\n<ul><li>1.

Of course, if something isn't covered by LIMSpec, you can always add additional requirements. \n<\/p><p>During the initial research towards your URS, you won't have to include every requirement for when you approach potential vendors. Most vendors appreciate a more inviting approach that doesn't overwhelm, at least initially. You will want to go with a limited yet practical set of requirements carefully chosen because they matter to you and your laboratory the most. In the case of a lab seeking a solution to help them better comply with ISO\/IEC 17025, one might want to make requirements related to the standard the practical starting point. (See Chapter 3, section 3.1.2, Table 1 for the full list.) Wherever you choose to start, you'll likely want to wait until after participating in several software demonstrations before even considering your URS to be complete. (More on that in 5.3.1.) This naturally leads us to a discussion about the request for information (RFI) process.\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"References\">References<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"reflist references-column-width\" style=\"-moz-column-width: 30em; -webkit-column-width: 30em; column-width: 30em; list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<div class=\"mw-references-wrap\"><ol class=\"references\">\n<li id=\"cite_note-AasemAnalysis10-1\"><span class=\"mw-cite-backlink\"><a href=\"#cite_ref-AasemAnalysis10_1-0\">\u2191<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"reference-text\"><span class=\"citation Journal\">Aasem, M.; Ramzan, M.; Jaffar, A.

The specification has grown significantly from its humble origins over a decade ago. Earlier versions of LIMSpec focused on a mix of both regulatory requirements and clients' \"wishlist\" features for a given system. The wishlist items haven't necessarily been ignored by developers, but they do in fact have to be prioritized by the potential buyer as \"nice to have\" or \"essential to system operation,\" or something in between.[1][2][3] This latest version is different, focusing strictly on a regulatory-, standards-, and guidance-based approach to building a specification document for laboratory informatics systems. \nAt its core, LIMSpec is rooted in ASTM E1578-18 Standard Guide for Laboratory Informatics. With the latest version released in 2018, the standard includes an updated Laboratory Informatics Functional Requirements checklist, which \"covers functionality common to the various laboratory informatics systems discussed throughout [the] guide as well as requirements recommended as part of [the] guide.\" It goes on to state that the checklist \"is an example of typical requirements that can be used to guide the purchase, upgrade, or development of a laboratory informatics system,\" though it is certainly \"not meant to be exhaustive.\"\nLIMSpec borrows from that requirements checklist and then adds more to it from a wide variety of sources, including ISO\/IEC 17025. An attempt has been made to find the most relevant regulations, standards, and guidance that shape how a compliant laboratory informatics system is developed and maintained. However, the LIMSpec should also definitely be considered a continual work in progress, with more to be added as new pertinent regulations, standards, and guidance are discovered.\nIf you've never worked with a user requirements specification document, the concept remains relatively simple to grasp. Merriam-Webster defines a \"specification\" as \"a detailed precise presentation of something or of a plan or proposal for something.\"[4] Within this organized \"plan or proposal\" are requirements. A requirement typically comes in the form of a statement that begins with \"the system\/user\/vendor shall\/should ...\" and focuses on a provided service, reaction to input, or expected behavior in a given situation. The statement may be abstract (high-level), or it may be specific and detailed to a precise function. The statement may also be of a functional nature, describing functionality or services in detail, or of a non-functional nature, describing the constraints of a given functionality or service and how it's rendered.\nAn example of a functional software requirement could be \"the user shall be able to query either all of the initial set of databases or select a subset from it.\" This statement describes specific functionality the system should have. On the other hand, a non-functional requirement, for example, may state \"the system's query tool shall conform to the ABC 123-2014 standard.\" The statement describes a constraint placed upon the system's query functionality. Once compiled, a set of requirements can serve not only to strengthen the software requirements specification, but the requirements set can also be used for bidding on a contract or serve as the basis for a specific contract that is being finalized.[5]\nSection 3.1.2 of Chapter 3 took those specific LIMSpec requirements linked to ISO\/IEC 17025 and presented them as a means to demonstrate the critical functionality a LIMS should have in order for a laboratory to more easily comply with the standard. However, there's more to LIMSpec than just those requirements. The requirements span multiple areas of laboratory workflow and practice, from the core functions of a lab to its ancillary operations, specialty functions, technology and performance touch points, and data and security touch points. As of December 2022, LIMSpec is based off more than 130 regulations, standards, guidance documents, and more, proving to be a robust starting point for labs seeking to use a requirements specification to acquire a LIMS.\nThe next chapter discusses the user requirements specification, using LIMSpec as an example. You'll learn how to shape such a specification to your laboratory's needs, how to issue the specification as a request for information (RFI), and how to get the most out of it when getting decision-related information from vendors.\n\nReferences \n\n\n\u2191 Aasem, M.; Ramzan, M.; Jaffar, A.

The specification has grown significantly from its humble origins over a decade ago. Earlier versions of LIMSpec focused on a mix of both regulatory requirements and clients' \"wishlist\" features for a given system. The wishlist items haven't necessarily been ignored by developers, but they do in fact have to be prioritized by the potential buyer as \"nice to have\" or \"essential to system operation,\" or something in between.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-AasemAnalysis10_1-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-AasemAnalysis10-1\">[1]<\/a><\/sup><sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-Hirsch10Steps13_2-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-Hirsch10Steps13-2\">[2]<\/a><\/sup><sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-BurrissSoftware07_3-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-BurrissSoftware07-3\">[3]<\/a><\/sup> This latest version is different, focusing strictly on a regulatory-, standards-, and guidance-based approach to building a specification document for laboratory informatics systems. \n<\/p><p>At its core, LIMSpec is rooted in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/ASTM_E1578\" title=\"ASTM E1578\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"74b64479a39bee791aacc4605b78a061\">ASTM E1578-18<\/a> <i>Standard Guide for Laboratory Informatics<\/i>. With the latest version released in 2018, the standard includes an updated Laboratory Informatics Functional Requirements checklist, which \"covers functionality common to the various laboratory informatics systems discussed throughout [the] guide as well as requirements recommended as part of [the] guide.\" It goes on to state that the checklist \"is an example of typical requirements that can be used to guide the purchase, upgrade, or development of a laboratory informatics system,\" though it is certainly \"not meant to be exhaustive.\"\n<\/p><p>LIMSpec borrows from that requirements checklist and then adds more to it from a wide variety of sources, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/ISO\/IEC_17025\" title=\"ISO\/IEC 17025\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"0a89cebb34370dd860cce86881cbf29c\">ISO\/IEC 17025<\/a>. An attempt has been made to find the most relevant regulations, standards, and guidance that shape how a compliant laboratory informatics system is developed and maintained. However, the LIMSpec should also definitely be considered a continual work in progress, with more to be added as new pertinent regulations, standards, and guidance are discovered.\n<\/p><p>If you've never worked with a user requirements specification document, the concept remains relatively simple to grasp. Merriam-Webster defines a \"specification\" as \"a detailed precise presentation of something or of a plan or proposal for something.\"<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-MWSpec_4-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-MWSpec-4\">[4]<\/a><\/sup> Within this organized \"plan or proposal\" are requirements. A requirement typically comes in the form of a statement that begins with \"the system\/user\/vendor shall\/should ...\" and focuses on a provided service, reaction to input, or expected behavior in a given situation. The statement may be abstract (high-level), or it may be specific and detailed to a precise function. The statement may also be of a functional nature, describing functionality or services in detail, or of a non-functional nature, describing the constraints of a given functionality or service and how it's rendered.\n<\/p><p>An example of a functional software requirement could be \"the user shall be able to query either all of the initial set of databases or select a subset from it.\" This statement describes specific functionality the system should have. On the other hand, a non-functional requirement, for example, may state \"the system's query tool shall conform to the ABC 123-2014 standard.\" The statement describes a constraint placed upon the system's query functionality. Once compiled, a set of requirements can serve not only to strengthen the software requirements specification, but the requirements set can also be used for bidding on a contract or serve as the basis for a specific contract that is being finalized.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-MemonSoftware10_5-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-MemonSoftware10-5\">[5]<\/a><\/sup>\n<\/p><p>Section 3.1.2 of Chapter 3 took those specific LIMSpec requirements linked to ISO\/IEC 17025 and presented them as a means to demonstrate the critical functionality a LIMS should have in order for a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Laboratory\" title=\"Laboratory\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"c57fc5aac9e4abf31dccae81df664c33\">laboratory<\/a> to more easily comply with the standard. However, there's more to LIMSpec than just those requirements. The requirements span multiple areas of laboratory <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Workflow\" title=\"Workflow\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"92bd8748272e20d891008dcb8243e8a8\">workflow<\/a> and practice, from the core functions of a lab to its ancillary operations, specialty functions, technology and performance touch points, and data and security touch points. As of December 2022, LIMSpec is based off more than 130 regulations, standards, guidance documents, and more, proving to be a robust starting point for labs seeking to use a requirements specification to acquire a LIMS.\n<\/p><p>The next chapter discusses the user requirements specification, using LIMSpec as an example. You'll learn how to shape such a specification to your laboratory's needs, how to issue the specification as a request for information (RFI), and how to get the most out of it when getting decision-related information from vendors.\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"References\">References<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"reflist references-column-width\" style=\"-moz-column-width: 30em; -webkit-column-width: 30em; column-width: 30em; list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<div class=\"mw-references-wrap\"><ol class=\"references\">\n<li id=\"cite_note-AasemAnalysis10-1\"><span class=\"mw-cite-backlink\"><a href=\"#cite_ref-AasemAnalysis10_1-0\">\u2191<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"reference-text\"><span class=\"citation Journal\">Aasem, M.; Ramzan, M.; Jaffar, A.

If a vendor clearly indicates what industries they serve on their website, they are categorized under those industries. Otherwise, they are placed under the \"General\" category. However, \"ISO\/IEC 17025\" isn't considered an industry for purposes of categorization; as we learned in Chapter 2, the testing, calibration, and sampling activities covered by ISO\/IEC 17025 occur in a wide variety of industry contexts. As such, using such a directory will require you to examine vendors serving your industry and then investigate further how their LIMS touches all those requirements listed in the previous chapter.\nFor purposes of this guide, we simply list all known LIMS vendors as a base starting point. This may have little use to you, so you may also wish to consult the previously mentioned categorized directory for further granularity. The LIMS vendors and consultants listed below are directly pulled from LIMSwiki's maintained tabular listings of these types of entities. The professional section addresses trade organizations, conferences, and more. The last section further explores LIMSpec, which has been discussed in prior chapters.\n\r\n\n\n4.1 LIMS vendors \nNOTE: This listing represents all known active LIMS vendors.

If a vendor clearly indicates what industries they serve on their website, they are categorized under those industries. Otherwise, they are placed under the \"General\" category. However, \"ISO\/IEC 17025\" isn't considered an industry for purposes of categorization; as we learned in Chapter 2, the testing, calibration, and sampling activities covered by ISO\/IEC 17025 occur in a wide variety of industry contexts. As such, using such a directory will require you to examine vendors serving your industry and then investigate further how their LIMS touches all those requirements listed in the previous chapter.\n<\/p><p>For purposes of this guide, we simply list all known LIMS vendors as a base starting point. This may have little use to you, so you may also wish to consult the previously mentioned categorized directory for further granularity. The LIMS vendors and consultants listed below are directly pulled from LIMSwiki's maintained tabular listings of these types of entities. The professional section addresses trade organizations, conferences, and more. The last section further explores LIMSpec, which has been discussed in prior chapters.\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"4.1_LIMS_vendors\">4.1 LIMS vendors<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>NOTE: This listing represents all known active LIMS vendors.

In a broad sense, detailing the specifics about a project, concept, or idea to others is just common sense. This applies just as well to the world of software development, where a software requirements specification is essential for preventing the second most commonly cited reason for project failure: poor requirements management.[2] \nIn fact, the ISO\/IEC\/IEEE 29148:2018 standard (a conglomeration of what was formerly IEEE 830 and other standards) is in place to help specify \"the required processes implemented in the engineering activities that result in requirements for systems and software products\" and provide guidelines for how to apply those requirements.[3] The standard describes the characteristics that make up quality software requirement development, including aspects such as[4]:\n\ncorrectly describing system behavior;\neffectively removing ambiguity from the language used;\ncompletely covering the system behavior and features;\naccurately prioritizing and ranking the requirements; and\nunequivocally ensuring the requirements are testable, modifiable, and traceable.\nA requirement typically comes in the form of a statement that begins with \"the system\/user\/vendor shall\/should ...\" and focuses on a provided service, reaction to input, or expected behavior in a given situation. The statement may be abstract (high-level) or specific and detailed to a precise function. The statement may also be of a functional nature, describing functionality or services in detail, or of a non-functional nature, describing the constraints of a given functionality or service and how it's rendered. An example of a functional software requirement could be \"the user shall be able to query either all of the initial set of databases or select a subset from it.\" This statement describes specific functionality the system should have. On the other hand, a non-functional requirement, for example, may state \"the system's query tool shall conform to the ABC 123-2014 standard.\" The statement describes a constraint placed upon the system's query functionality. (You've already seen other examples of this in section 3.1.2.)\nThis is where a requirements specification shines, not only for the software developer but also for those acquiring the software. A set of development requirements, compiled in the form of a software requirements specification, can serve to strengthen the software development process. For those acquiring the software, a set of user requirements, compiled in the form of a URS, can be used for the selection and acquisition of software or a service.[5][6] In the case of the URS, the acquiring business can approach this several ways. The simple way would be to essentially take the vendor at the word in regards to what they say their system can and can't do, agreeing formally to their description and taking responsibility that it will cover all the applicable regulations required by your business. However, this method isn't comprehensive and leaves the business open to not being able to fully meet its goals.[6]\nThe other method has the URS be specific to your business' needs. The process is more work but leaves less to chance.[6] Developing your own URS isn't always straightforward. Often times, the developed document turns into a mix of \"wishlist\" requirements from potential and active clients, as well as regulation-mandated requirements. The wishlist items aren't necessarily ignored by developers, but the URS should in fact clearly prioritize requirements as \"nice to have\" or \"essential to system operation,\" or something in between.[7][8][9] Whatever the URS looks like in the end, it's ultimately up to the vendor to be able to demonstrate how the software does and does not meet its requirements.\nAs mentioned earlier in this chapter, the requirements of ISO\/IEC 17025 can be directly mapped to a robust URS such as LIMSpec, an evolving set of software requirements specifications for laboratory informatics systems. In Chapter 5, we will demonstrate how a URS like LIMSpec can be put to use to best ensure your lab acquires a LIMS that best supports your lab's compliance efforts. But first, in the the next chapter, we provide some resources to help you make more informed decisions about your LIMS acquisition.\n\nReferences \n\n\n\u2191 \"specification\". Merriam-Webster.

The laboratory informatics solution you acquire is more than than the software you operate: it's mission-critical and deserves having a reliable and responsive team with the necessary resources to ensure it remains operational. Downtime can negatively affect both immediate customer satisfaction and your reputation. As such, it's imperative you ask the vendor about the details of its MSW, making sure you understand what is and isn't covered, as well as how much it will cost. Cost-wise, industry norms are anywhere from 15% to 25% of either the license fee or total contract, levied annually to provide this coverage.[1] Alternatively, it may simply be included with your subscription. The MSW will include a specified number of support and maintenance hours or guarantees. The actual warranty should be unlimited for as long as the MSW or subscription is kept current.\nMaintenance includes any and all work necessary to keep your system working as designed. It should include updates, patches, or fixes, and most if not all upgrades. (Note, however, a major upgrade to a totally new edition may not be covered, but it may come at a negotiable, significantly lower cost.[2]) The support aspect of MSW generally consists of a specified number of hours dedicated more to helping you with the operation of the system rather than \"fixing\" anything. Support includes guidance on training, password or login support, and more. Finally, with any professional application you also expect to have a warranty. The warranty should cover anything that doesn't work that otherwise should for the designated period of time.[2] That includes any standard features and functions, as well as any additional ones that were delivered and signed off on, and any other work performed by the vendor or its representatives. However, a typical warranty does not cover anything that was working fine, but upon being manipulated in a way beyond normal operation the functionality ceased. In these cases, you'll probably have to pay to get it fixed.\nBeyond the MSW, additional updates and services related to the system may also be required. No matter how well it is pre-configured, any professional laboratory informatics solution will require some amount of standard setup to reflect your particular lab. This includes adding lab branding and demographics for reports and certificates; entering users, their roles, and access permissions; adding and\/or modifying tests and workflows; renaming fields; adding or hiding fields; setting up a web portal; and implementing interfaces. Equally indispensable is proper training for both users and administrators. And of course you may later find that you would like additional features or functions. These and other services may prove particularly useful to the laboratory with little in the way of IT and systems expertise. As such, the vendor may provide one or more of the following as a billable service for the laboratory:\n\ninitial implementation meeting (e.g., initial planning, identify delta, set schedule)\nproject management\nrequirements gathering and documentation\ninitial setup\nuser and administrator training\nconfiguration and customization\ninterface development and implementation\ncustom screen and field development\ncustom functionality development\ncustom reports and labels\ncustom triggers and alerts\nvalidation or acceptance testing (to a third-party standard or certification, or to agreed manufacturer specs)\nReferences \n\n\n\u2191 Scavo, F.

The laboratory informatics solution you acquire is more than than the software you operate: it's mission-critical and deserves having a reliable and responsive team with the necessary resources to ensure it remains operational. Downtime can negatively affect both immediate customer satisfaction and your reputation. As such, it's imperative you ask the vendor about the details of its MSW, making sure you understand what is and isn't covered, as well as how much it will cost. Cost-wise, industry norms are anywhere from 15% to 25% of either the license fee or total contract, levied annually to provide this coverage.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-ScavoHigh05_1-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-ScavoHigh05-1\">[1]<\/a><\/sup> Alternatively, it may simply be included with your subscription. The MSW will include a specified number of support and maintenance hours or guarantees. The actual warranty should be unlimited for as long as the MSW or subscription is kept current.\n<\/p><p>Maintenance includes any and all work necessary to keep your system working as designed. It should include updates, patches, or fixes, and most if not all upgrades. (Note, however, a major upgrade to a totally new edition may not be covered, but it may come at a negotiable, significantly lower cost.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-Gordon-ByrneMaint14_2-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-Gordon-ByrneMaint14-2\">[2]<\/a><\/sup>) The support aspect of MSW generally consists of a specified number of hours dedicated more to helping you with the operation of the system rather than \"fixing\" anything. Support includes guidance on training, password or login support, and more. Finally, with any professional application you also expect to have a warranty. The warranty should cover anything that doesn't work that otherwise should for the designated period of time.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-Gordon-ByrneMaint14_2-1\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-Gordon-ByrneMaint14-2\">[2]<\/a><\/sup> That includes any standard features and functions, as well as any additional ones that were delivered and signed off on, and any other work performed by the vendor or its representatives. However, a typical warranty does not cover anything that was working fine, but upon being manipulated in a way beyond normal operation the functionality ceased. In these cases, you'll probably have to pay to get it fixed.\n<\/p><p>Beyond the MSW, additional updates and services related to the system may also be required. No matter how well it is pre-configured, any professional laboratory informatics solution will require some amount of standard setup to reflect your particular lab. This includes adding lab branding and demographics for reports and certificates; entering users, their roles, and access permissions; adding and\/or modifying tests and workflows; renaming fields; adding or hiding fields; setting up a web portal; and implementing interfaces. Equally indispensable is proper training for both users and administrators. And of course you may later find that you would like additional features or functions. These and other services may prove particularly useful to the laboratory with little in the way of IT and systems expertise. As such, the vendor may provide one or more of the following as a billable service for the laboratory:\n<\/p>\n<ul><li>initial implementation meeting (e.g., initial planning, identify delta, set schedule)<\/li>\n<li>project management<\/li>\n<li>requirements gathering and documentation<\/li>\n<li>initial setup<\/li>\n<li>user and administrator training<\/li>\n<li>configuration and customization<\/li>\n<li>interface development and implementation<\/li>\n<li>custom screen and field development<\/li>\n<li>custom functionality development<\/li>\n<li>custom reports and labels<\/li>\n<li>custom triggers and alerts<\/li>\n<li>validation or acceptance testing (to a third-party standard or certification, or to agreed manufacturer specs)<\/li><\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"References\">References<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"reflist references-column-width\" style=\"-moz-column-width: 30em; -webkit-column-width: 30em; column-width: 30em; list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<div class=\"mw-references-wrap\"><ol class=\"references\">\n<li id=\"cite_note-ScavoHigh05-1\"><span class=\"mw-cite-backlink\"><a href=\"#cite_ref-ScavoHigh05_1-0\">\u2191<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"reference-text\"><span class=\"citation web\">Scavo, F.

However, there are plenty of horror stories out there, highlighting the need of the laboratory to discuss in detail how a potential vendor will handle installation, validation, and training for the informatics solution. Does the vendor truly understand the industry and your needs? Does the vendor assign a project manager who will work with you, from planning to go-live and beyond? Can they offer you references of other labs who have gone through implementation so you can compare notes with those labs? How much attention does the potential vendor give to related issues such as data integrity of migrated data? Do they have the means to properly handle your legacy data? And are they able to work with your schedule, even if it means implementing software at off-peak work hours?[1][2]\nAs you finally get down to the ultimate decision on which vendor to work with, you may wish to start setting up an implementation checklist as part of your early project planning. Do you receive a help desk account as part of the implementation process, and if so, what information is included? If not, you'll need to keep track of specific details such as business associate agreement (BAA), sales agreement, scope documents, welcome letters, documentation, and approved staff who can utilize the vendor's support. You'll likely need to share other configuration details with the vendor, including time zone requirements, DNS and URL requirements, up-time monitors, and administrative account requirements. Finally, you'll want to ensure you and the vendor are on the same page concerning any additional customization, integration, and system validation requirements, ensuring the roll-out period is pain-free and efficient.\n\n3.2.1 Internal and external integrations \nLaboratories acquire data management software for many reasons, including improving accuracy and quality, saving time, increasing productivity, and adding capabilities. One way of doing all of those activities is to integrate or interface your systems, databases, and instruments so that human error is greatly reduced or eliminated, workflows are automated and sped up, and each component's capabilities are brought into play in the most efficient and effective ways possible. As such, you'll want to inquire with the vendor about its solution's hardware and software integration capabilities. Is it designed to interface with every laboratory instrument or software that can output any readable electronic file? Or are integrations limited to certain instruments and systems? How does it connect, i.e., what protocols does the software depend on to connect with other systems? Does the system allow a user to map their own file imports and exports? Can system processes be set to detect new instances of file outputs at regular intervals? Ask these and other questions to make sure the vendor clearly describes what internal and external integrations are supported with their application.\nIn many cases, a vendor's LIMS solution will have instrument integration capability built into the software, but occasionally such interfaces are separate from the main software. Today's instrument interfaces are generally built on standardized communication protocols such as RS-232, RS-422, IEEE-488 (GPIB), USB, Ethernet, and more.[3] The LIMS that can support such instrument integrations is increasingly vital to the ISO\/IEC 17025 laboratory. Such labs may also want their laboratory informatics solution to be able to communicate with other software and databases. This is often done using application programming interfaces (APIs) that depend on web services implementation protocols such as REST and SOAP.[4][5][6] These messaging protocols actually allow for the creation of an API that receives communication requests and sends responses between two software systems. A more practical example is wanting your laboratory informatics solution to communicate with an enterprise resource planning (ERP) application or a QMS. Perhaps rather than housing quality management documents exclusively in the LIMS, the lab has had a dedicated electronic QMS for years, and they'd like to be able to interface that with the LIMS. APIs and communication protocols make this happen.[5]\n\nReferences \n\n\n\u2191 Wagner, M. (10 October 2019). \"7 Software Implementation Challenges and How to Solve Them\". WalkMe Blog.

Perhaps rather than housing quality management documents exclusively in the LIMS, the lab has had a dedicated electronic QMS for years, and they'd like to be able to interface that with the LIMS.

Choosing laboratory informatics software for better ISO\/IEC 17025 compliance \nWhile ISO\/IEC 17025 provides numerous benefits to a laboratory, it still asks a lot of the laboratory in order to conform with the standard.[1] Today, conforming to ISO\/IEC 17025 without the help of an information management system is a daunting task, especially given requirements concerning timely data retrieval and security. Labs have increasingly turned to a laboratory information management system (LIMS), not only for helping to modernize and improve the quality of the laboratory but also aiding with compliance to standards like ISO\/IEC 17025.[2][3] However, not all LIMS are built the same, and the laboratory must consider LIMS vendors who provide a solution that best helps them limit the burden of ISO\/IEC 17025 compliance.\nThis chapter will focus on a series of considerations the lab manager or group should make towards their informatics purchase, especially in the light of the demands of ISO\/IEC 17025, described in the previous chapter. Most aspects of the research and acquisition process are discussed, including specific LIMS functionality that maps to the standard's own requirements for compliance.\n\r\n\n\n3.1 Evaluation and selection \nWhat exactly is a LIMS anyway? Do I need one? What options are available and how do I compare them? What about a request for information (RFI), request for proposal (RFP), or request for quotation (RFQ)? These are questions laboratory professionals typically ponder upon finding themselves charged with the mission of finding software for their ISO\/IEC 17025 lab. For many the task can be a daunting proposition.\nYou may know the regulatory, workflow, and standard-driven needs of your laboratory, but perhaps you don't know much about data management solutions like LIMS\u2014which can better empower your lab to meet those needs\u2014leaving you intimidated by all the options. You'll first need to gauge your lab's informatics needs in order to determine which products are worth investigating further. Of course your lab's analysis requirements, reporting and data sharing constraints, instrument interfacing needs, barcoding and tracking requirements, quality assurance processes, etc. are certainly important factors. But these systems vary in numerous ways, and other important factors exist. Of course, price is one consideration, although value is ultimately more important than a low price. Other important questions that get asked include: \n\nShould we purchase software licenses or \"rent\" the software via a subscription-based model?\nDoes the software need to be on-site, or is a SaaS hosted option more practical?\nIs a modular or complete system better for us?\nWhat is the best licensing\/rental scheme for us? Should we consider site, named user, concurrent user, or workstation licenses?\nIs the company qualified and trustworthy?\nWhat functionality is available to help our lab remain compliant with the ISO\/IEC 17025 standard?\nThese and other questions are addressed in this chapter.\n\n3.1.1 Technology considerations \nYour laboratory's workflow, instruments, data management requirements, budget, technological expertise, business goals, and risk tolerances will all play a role in deciding what technology to invest in. The ISO\/IEC 17025 lab will also be interested in how that technology not only helps with workflow requirements but also better assists the lab with meeting the requirements placed upon them by the standard.\nAs part of this discovery process, many questions may arise. Chief among them may be how to best match the laboratory's goals with one or more informatics solutions. Does the laboratory envision a small investment and modest goals, taking in a slow but steady flow of analytical requests, or do they envision expansive growth, expanding into multiple testing domains? If the lab is starting small but is confidently expecting to grow, technological investments early on may want to take into account future technologies that may shape data management and security processes. The lab will also want to account for how ISO\/IEC 17025 compliance affects future expansion and technology needs. \nSecond, what kind of work will the lab be doing, and what regulatory responsibilities will guide hardware and software investment at the lab? If your lab will be conducting extractable and leachable testing, you'll be considering chromatography and spectroscopy instruments, as well as requirements for retaining analytical results for regulators. While the ISO\/IEC 17025-accredited testing lab will have varying needs for instruments depending on what sort of work they are conducting, its data management system will likely need to be sufficiently robust to meet the needs of the standard. For those labs in more regulated spaces, the system will even need to interface to government systems, or at a minimum report in the regulatory body's specific format. These and other considerations will need to be made. (We'll get more into the functionality requirements of the ISO\/IEC 17025 lab in section 3.1.2.)\nThird, your laboratory's budget is always important. Does the budget allow for on-site hardware and software systems, with the personnel to maintain them? Is it easier to pay up-front or find a vendor willing to work with you on leasing or rental terms? Is their more value to be had from a slightly more expensive system able to provide the functionality that makes ISO\/IEC 17025 compliance more painless for the lab? (We talk about other cost considerations a bit later.) \nFinally, will the lab have someone on-site or on-call to resolve technology issues, including set-up and maintenance of software systems? If your lab will have little in the way of available tech help locally, you'll want to consider the distribution model you want to use for any installed software, i.e., you may want to consider software as a service (SaaS). An increasing number of software services are hosted using cloud computing, which when done well is an increasingly reliable option.[4] Having someone else host the software for you typically means the hosting provider will carry a non-trivial portion of responsibility for technology maintenance and security. \nSpeaking of security, you'll also want to consider the cybersecurity of not only your software solution but also your overall laboratory operations. Does your organization have a cybersecurity plan already in place, or has the decision to make one been postponed? What extra investment is required to ensure your sensitive data is secure? How do your cybersecurity goals compare to the demands of ISO\/IEC 17025? (See section 3.1.3 for more on this.) Remember that how you rank your cybersecurity preparedness and implement a cybersecurity plan will also guide your technology investment decisions.[5]\n3.1.1.1 Laboratory informatics options\nKeeping the above in mind, what are the common software solutions used within an ISO\/IEC 17025 laboratory? One of the more commonly discussed options is the LIMS, a laboratory informatics solution designed to assist laboratories with managing testing workflows, data, and other aspects of their operations. \nThe use of LIMS in ISO\/IEC 17025 labs is not a novel concept.[3][6][7][8][9] However, little information can be found as to the percentage of today's ISO\/IEC 17025 laboratories using a LIMS in their workflow. A 2017 survey of 30 ISO\/IEC 17025-accredited laboratories\u201418 responding\u2014by the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) found that of the respondents, only 10 (56%) had any spend on a LIMS.[10] This is a tiny pool of all laboratories, so it's likely not all that representative of ISO\/IEC 17025-accredited lab use of a LIMS. Yet given:\n\nthe focus on laboratory competence, impartiality, and consistent operations\u2014and by extension, quality\u2014by the ISO\/IEC 17025 standard developers; and\nthe connection of improving quality through appropriate use of an informatics solutions like a LIMS (see the next subsection)\n... it's not difficult to imagine many such labs turning to a LIMS to help them towards quality and compliance goals. In addition, a LIMS or other informatics solution can help eliminate manual processes, improve sample management, increase productivity, and improve regulatory conformance.[11] This, of course, lends to the ISO\/IEC 17025 lab's focus on safety, quality, and compliance.\nA LIMS can improve laboratory workflows and workloads while enhancing safety, quality, and compliance in a number of ways. A fragmented mix of paper-based and electronic information sources can be a detriment to the traceability of or rapid accessibility to quality control samples, standard operating procedures (SOPs), calibration data, chain of custody data, and other vital aspects of analytical, sampling, and calibration testing in the lab. A well-implemented LIMS can reduce the silos of information and data, while at the same time make that information and data more secure and readily accessible. Given the standard's demands for providing rapid proof of traceable sample movement and relevant quality control data, the LIMS acts as the central integrator and audit trail for that information.[12][13][14] Because the LIMS improves traceability\u2014including through its automated interfaces with instruments and other data systems\u2014real-time monitoring of supply chain issues, quality control data, instrument use, and more is further enabled, particularly when paired with configurable dashboards and alert mechanisms. By extension, labs can more rapidly act on insights gained from those real-time dashboards.[12] \nThis also means that the lab can react more rapidly to issues that compromise compliance with certification to not only the ISO\/IEC 17025 standard but also other requirements by regulatory agencies like the FDA.[3][15][16] Finally, many modern LIMS tailored to ISO\/IEC 17025 compliance come pre-configured out of the box with analytical and quality control workflow support tools that can be further optimized to a lab's unique workflow.\nHowever, the LIMS is not the sole information management solution for ISO\/IEC 17025 laboratories. Other types of software-based information management solutions are being marketed to laboratories appearing in various industries. Some software vendors have taken to marketing the somewhat related laboratory execution system (LES), which tends to focus more on laboratory test method execution at the process level while integrating other R&D functionalities found in, for example, electronic laboratory notebooks (ELNs).[17][18] Other solutions like the quality management system or QMS may work hand-in-hand with a LIMS to better harmonize the loading and use of workflows and methods in the LIMS, as well as better ensure the lab's risk management principles are enacted and followed.[19] The implication here, of course, is the lab will need to decide on the level of software integration of any other primary or ancillary systems is required for smoother operations, as well as whether or not a system such as a LIMS is able to accommodate. \nIt's important to note that, in particular, the QMS plays an important role when discussing ISO\/IEC 17025. The next subsection will examine the role of the QMS in such laboratories, in relation to quality management and the LIMS.\n3.1.1.2 LIMS, quality management, and the QMS\nIn order to be most successful\u2014while meeting the requirements of standards and regulatory pressures\u2014a laboratory must focus on a culture of quality.[20] A QMS is one means for a laboratory to put additional focus on quality, and ISO\/IEC 17025:2017\u2014at least in spirit\u2014promotes the adoption of a QMS. At issue is that while Section 8 of ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 addresses the laboratory's management system, it never directly calls it a \"quality management system\" or QMS; in fact, the word \"quality\" only appears once in this section. However, the implication is that the standard is addressing quality with its requirements for a management system, i.e., a QMS[21]:\n\nThe laboratory shall establish, document, implement, and maintain a management system that is capable of supporting and demonstrating the consistent achievement of the requirements of this document and assuring the quality of the laboratory results.\nThis discussion about the (quality) management system requirements of ISO\/IEC 17025:2017\u2014and the QMS itself\u2014is important in the context of a LIMS, as related discussion of the role of a LIMS in better managing a lab's quality system has been occurring for at least several decades.[22][23] As early as 1999, the \"contribution that both system design and functionality\" of a LIMS can have on a lab's efforts towards \"building quality\" was being discussed by researchers.[22] Additionally, as Hull et al. noted in 2011, a LIMS that allows the lab to track and control anything affecting the quality of its operations is critical to successfully developing, implementing, and revising a QMS. \"[T]here is more than just the end product or result that needs to be tracked and controlled,\" the authors add. \"All of the intermediate products and resources play a significant role in producing the final product, and each of these needs to be included in the LIMS.\"[24]\nWith that, Hull et al.[24], as with their predecessors[22], highlight the importance of practical and consistent LIMS functionality to the efforts of maintaining quality in the lab. As such, with:\n\nlaboratory adoption of ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 increasing steadily since 2010, according to the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC),[25] as a means to demonstrate \"that [labs] operate competently and generate valid results\"[21] (i.e., focus on quality); and\nLIMS vendors needing to improve their efforts with addressing a lab's need for tracking and controlling quality within its workflow[24]\n... today's laboratories seeking to improve quality and meet ISO\/IEC 17025 requirements with the help of a LIMS must be mindful of not only what ISO\/IEC 17025 demands of the lab, but also what LIMS functionality is required to help the lab be more compliant. A software-based QMS alone won't be as useful as a LIMS or LIMS+QMS combo in managing the requirements of the standard. The next section examines more precisely the functionality required of a LIMS to better manage the necessary compliance, in turn bringing other positive benefits to the lab.\n\n 3.1.2 Features and functions for ISO\/IEC 17025 compliance \nIt's clear that a laboratory's quality goals can and should be tied to standards like ISO\/IEC 17025[26], and compliance to the standard is better accomplished with the help of a laboratory informatics solution like a LIMS. However, the LIMS needs to have a bit more than generic functionality in order to best assist the lab with its goals.\nWhat follows, in Table 1, is a demonstration of how a modern LIMS requirements specification like LIMSpec ties to the requirements of ISO\/IEC 17025. LIMSpec is a robust laboratory informatics requirements specification document that has evolved significantly over the years, and we can turn to LIMSpec to better visualize what the critical requirements of a LIMS are in regards to better complying with ISO\/IEC 17025. With the current version of LIMSpec having at its core standards such as ASTM E1578-18 Standard Guide for Laboratory Informatics[27] and ISO\/IEC 17025 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories[21], the LIMSpec makes for a durable requirements document that, when used to acquire an informatics solution, can better help a laboratory choose appropriate functionality based upon current standards, regulations, guidance, and more. \nIn particular\u2014rather than looking at the entire LIMSpec, which is described in greater detail later\u2014this section will specifically look at the touch points of ISO\/IEC 17025 with LIMSpec and highlight their importance. In addition to Table 1 listing the specific ISO\/IEC 17025 section number and the associated LIMSpec requirement, an attempt has been made to explain in clearer terms the impact of the requirement on the lab towards better complying with ISO\/IEC 17025.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTable 1.

The lab also benefits when the LIMS is able to readily provide a listing of users assigned to each of those granular levels.\n\n\nISO\/IEC 17025:2017 7.11.3\n\n34.7 The vendor shall restrict logical access to database storage components to authorized individuals. If providing a hosted service, the vendor should also restrict physical access to database storage components to authorized individuals. (In the case of an on-site solution, the buyer is responsible for limiting physical access to database storage components to meet 21 CFR Part 11, HIPAA, and CJIS guidelines.)\n\nLogical and physical access control: A laboratory can better comply with ISO\/IEC 17025 requirements if the lab's LIMS restricts logical access (i.e., access via remotely\/virtually interacting with hardware and software tools and databases) to critical components to only authorized users. Though physical access for a local install is the responsibility of the lab, the lab running a cloud-hosted LIMS from a vendor will still want to thoroughly vet the LIMS vendor concerning their own policies and practices related to physical access to hardware and software systems as part of complying with ISO\/IEC 17025.\n\n\n\nWe can simplify Table 1 down to the following functionality as being important to a lab attempting to conform to ISO\/IEC 17025, organized by workflow descriptors:\nTest, sample and result management\n\nComplete capture of a registered sample's data and metadata\nUnique sample identifiers\nFree-form reception-based sample data\nBarcode and RFID support\nPreloaded and configurable sample types and analytical test methods\nRobust sampling and test method development\n\r\n\nQuality, security, and compliance\n\nMulti-level review of test results\nValidation of sampling and test methods\nSupport for mapping professional requirements to existing system tasks, sample types, and methods\nInstrument lock-out\nConsistent, retrievable calibration and maintenance records\nCalibration activity linkages\nCalibration and maintenance audit trail\nNonconformance and deviation tracking\nStatistical trending and control charts\nInternal and external audit management\nSecure backup and retrieval\nFacility monitoring\nEnvironmental monitoring\nData retention\nRobust system security\nLIMS validation\nSecure granular access\nLogical and physical access control\n\r\n\nOperations management and reporting\n\nDocument management, with versioning and release controls\nControlled document access\nProvision of the most current document version\nUser manuals and training documentation\nSupport for unique document identifiers\nSupport for training and certification records\nComplaint and problem management\nUnique identification of instruments\nSupport for scheduled, frequency-based calibration and maintenance\nSupport for data and metadata archiving\nSupport for rapid and accurate retrieval of archived data and metadata\nSupport for certificates of analysis or similar verification documents\nSupport for changed, amended, or re-issued reports\n\r\n\n\n3.1.3 Cybersecurity considerations \nFrom law firms[30] to automotive manufacturers[31], the need to address cybersecurity is increasingly apparent. In 2018, the Center for Strategic & International Studies estimated that cybercrime causes close to $600 billion in damages to the global economy every year[32], though due to underreporting of crimes, that number may be much higher. That number also likely doesn't take into account lost business, fines, litigation, and intangible losses[33] In the end, businesses of all sizes average about $200,000 in losses due to a cybersecurity incident[34], and nearly 60 percent of small and midsize businesses go bankrupt within six months because of it.[35]\nISO\/IEC 17025 laboratories are no exception, regardless of business size. Even tiny labs whose primary digital footprint is a WordPress website advertising their lab are at risk, as hackers could still spread malware, steal user data, add the website to a bot network, hack the site for the learning experience, or even hack it just for fun.[36][37][38] Even more importantly are those labs performing digital data management tasks that handle sensitive proprietary manufacturer data, requiring additional cybersecurity considerations.\nISO\/IEC 17025:2017 doesn't use the word \"cybersecurity,\" but it does address the proper control of data, in its section 7.11. In particular, section 7.11.3 and 7.11.4 make it clear that the LIMS should be protected, whether hosted locally or hosted, in the cloud, by a third-party provider.[21] Importantly, the standard notes that the LIMS should have sufficient mechanism to protect its contents from unauthorized access, as well as from tampering and unexpected loss. It adds that the LIMS should \"be maintained in a manner that ensures the integrity of the data and information\" and promptly record any nonconformance or breaches of security, as well as any corrective actions taken.[21] These are most certainly cybersecurity concerns, which must be properly addressed by the ISO\/IEC 17025 lab.\nLaboratories attempting to conform to ISO\/IEC 17025 can integrate cybersecurity thinking into its laboratory informatics product selection in several ways. First, the organization should have a cybersecurity plan in place, or if not, it should be on the radar. This is a good resource to tap into in regards to deciding what cybersecurity considerations should be made for the software. Can the software help your organization meet your cybersecurity goals? What regulatory requirements for your lab are or are not covered by the software?[5] Another tool to consider\u2014which may have been used in any prior cybersecurity planning efforts\u2014is a cybersecurity framework. Many, but not all, cybersecurity frameworks include a catalog of security controls. Each control is \"a safeguard or countermeasure prescribed for an information system or an organization designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of its information and to meet a set of defined security requirements.\"[39] These controls give the implementing organization a concrete set of configurable goals to apply to their overall cybersecurity strategy. Other frameworks may be less oriented to security controls and more program-based or risk-based. Choosing the best frameworks will likely depend on multiple factors, including the organization's industry type, the amount of technical expertise within the organization, the budget, the organizational goals, the amount of buy-in from key organizational stakeholders, and those stakeholders' preferred approach.[5]\nFinally, having an organizational cybersecurity plan that incorporates one or more cybersecurity frameworks gives the laboratory ample opportunity to apply stated goals and chosen security controls to the evaluation and selection process for its informatics software. In particular, a user requirements specification (URS) that incorporates cybersecurity considerations will certainly help a laboratory with meeting regulatory requirements while also protecting its data systems. A USR that is pre-built with cybersecurity controls in mind\u2014such as LIMSpec, discussed later\u2014makes the evaluation process even easier.\n\n3.1.4 Regulatory compliance considerations \nConsider approaching the question of regulatory compliance from the standpoint of adopting standards, in this case ISO\/IEC 17025. Consider first that the risks and consequences of performing a task poorly drives regulation and, more preferably[40][41], standardization, which in turn moves the \"goalposts\" of quality and security among organizations. In the case of regulations, those organization that get caught not conforming to the necessary regulations tend to suffer negative consequences, providing some incentive for them to improve organizational processes and procedures. \nOne of the downsides of regulations is that they can at times be \"imprecise\" or \"disconnected\"[41] from what actually occurs within the organization and its information systems. Rather than focusing heavily on regulatory conformance, well-designed standards may, when adopted, provide a clearer path of opportunity for organizations to improve their operational culture and outcomes, particularly since standards are usually developed with a broader consensus of interested individuals with expertise in a given field.[40] In turn, the organizations that adopt well-designed standards like ISO\/IEC 17025 likely have a better chance of conforming to the regulations they must, and they'll likely have more interest in maintaining and improving the goalposts of quality and security in the lab.\nAdditionally, reputable software developers of laboratory informatics software will not only adopt their own industry standards for software development but also understand how the ISO\/IEC 17025 and LIMS requirements intersect. In turn, the developed software should meet regulations and standards, help the laboratory comply with its regulations and standards, and be of reliably good quality. \nIf you're a potential buyer of a laboratory informatics solution, it may be that you know a bit about your laboratory's workflow and have at least a remedial understanding of how ISO\/IEC 17025 influences how that workflow is conducted, but you're not entirely informed about all the details of how a LIMS can help your lab better conform to the standard, along with other regulations and standards. Turning to a URS such as LIMSpec\u2014which was developed around laboratory regulations and standards, including ISO\/IEC 17025\u2014and reviewing the various statements contained within may be necessary to help further inform you. Additionally, as you investigate various informatics options, you can then use the requirements in the URS as a base for your laboratory's own requirements list. Using the categories and their subdivisions, you can then add those requirements that are unique to your laboratory and industry that are not sufficiently covered by the base URS. As you review the various options available to you and narrow down your search, your own list of requirements can be used as both as a personal checklist and as a requirements list you hand over to the vendor you query. And since your URS is based off the standards and regulations affecting your lab, you can feel more confident in your acquisition and its integration into your laboratory workflow.\n\n3.1.5 System flexibility \nBefore selecting a solution, your laboratory should also have internal discussions about how diversified its offered services are, as well as what the future may bring to the lab. If, for example, your lab is currently configured for one type of testing, does your existing laboratory informatics system\u2014or the ones you may be considering\u2014have the flexibility to add other types of testing, protocols, and workflows? Will you be doing the footwork to add them, or will the vendor of your system support you in that effort? If you're a start-up, will your lab be focusing solely on a specific type of testing and expand into other types of analytical work later, or will your test menu need to be much broader right from the start? In most of these cases, you'll desire a LIMS that is flexible enough to allow for not only running the specific tests you need now, but also sufficiently expandable for any future testing services your lab may conduct in the mid- and long-term. Having the ability to create and customize sample registration screens, test protocols, labels, reports, specification limit sets, measurement units, and substrates\/matrices while being able to interface with practically most any instrument and software system required will go a long way towards making your expanding test menu and workflows integrates as smoothly as possible.\nSuch a system will typically be marketed as being highly user-configurable, giving labs a relatively painless means to adapt to rapid changes in test volume and type over time. However, once you've internally addressed current and anticipated future growth, your lab will want to learn what explicitly makes any given vendor's system user-configurable. How easy is it to configure the system to new tests? Add custom reports? What knowledge or skills will be required of your lab in order to make the necessary changes, i.e., will your staff require programming skills, or are the administrator and advanced user functions robust enough to make changes without hard-coding? These and other such questions should be fully addressed by the vendor in order to set your mind at ease towards a system's stated flexibility. Ultimately, you want the system to be flexible enough to change with the laboratory\u2014and industry\u2014itself, while minimizing overall costs and reducing the time required to make any necessary modifications.\n\n3.1.6 Cost considerations \nFirst, you'll want to be clear on what will be included in the sales agreement. Whether through an estimate or statement of work (SOW), it is important it includes exactly what is expected, being as specific as possible, since this will be the entire contractual obligation for both you the buyer and them the vendor. Note that line items may differ slightly from system to system, according to what features and functions are included by default with each vendor's solution and which, if any, are additional. Also keep in mind that any hourly amount in the the estimate or SOW is usually a best estimate; however, if sufficient attention to detailed requirements has been given, then it should be quite accurate, and in fact the final cost may even be below the quoted cost if you prioritize your own obligations so that the vendor's hours are used sparingly and efficiently. \nThe estimate or SOW should optimally include:\n\nlicensing or subscription rates;\nrequired core items to meet federal, state, and local regulations;\nadditional optional items and totals; and\nrequired services (implementation, maintenance and support, optional add-ons).\nThere are two primary ways to price a laboratory informatics solution: a one-time license fee or a subscription rate (cloud-hosted SaaS). If you have your own dedicated IT department and staff, you may prefer the former (although many system administrators are just as happy to let it be hosted elsewhere rather than add to their workload). Otherwise, a SaaS subscription may well be the better and more cost-effective way to go (since the primary IT cost is simply internet access). This item will be part of your up-front cost and, in the case of subscription, it will also figure into your first year and ongoing costs; otherwise only associated maintenance, support, and warranty (MSW) will figure in. Typically, your first year's subscription costs will be due at signing. More often, the vendor may require three months or even the first year up front, so be prepared to factor that into up-front costs. However, it still is almost always less expensive at the outset (and over time, if you factor in IT costs and annual MSW) than paying for a license fee.\nIn addition to the two types of software pricing, there are also sub-types. Generally these are based on the number of users (or, in some cases, \"nodes,\" which are simply any entities that access the informatics system, including other systems, instruments, etc.). How these are counted can vary.\n\nNamed users: This method bases pricing on the actual individual users of the system, even if they only log in sporadically. Users may not use each other's logins (this is a no-no regardless of pricing structure, for good laboratory practice and other regulatory reasons).\nConcurrent users: This bases pricing on the maximum number of users who will be logged in at any given time. You can define an unlimited number of named users in the system, each with their own login credentials. However, only the number of concurrent users specified in the license or subscription may be logged in at any one time. For example, you may have 10 staff, but due to work processes, shifts, etc., only up to six might ever be logged in simultaneously. Whereas this would require a named user license for 10, it would only require a concurrent user license for six.\nUnlimited users: In the case of very large labs (typically 30 to 50 and up), the license or subscription may simply be a flat fee that allows any number of users.\nThe line items in the estimate or SOW should reflect these nuances, as well as whether the listed costs are monthly or annual (for subscription services), hourly (typically for support and training), or a fixed one-time cost. Additionally, be cautious with fixed costs, as they typically represent one of two possible scenarios:\n\nFinal fixed cost: In this case, the cost has been figured by the vendor so as to cover their worst-case hourly labor total. If a line item (e.g., an interface) is not \"worst case,\" then you are overpaying.\n\"Expandable\" fixed cost: This is as bad as final fixed cost, and maybe even worse because it's almost a case of \"bait-and-switch,\" popping up as a surprise. The initial \"fixed cost\" number is low, and additional hourly services are needed to actually deliver the item. This will have been provided for somewhere in the small print.\nThe bottom line is that everything in a laboratory informatics solution is really either licensing or hourly services. Just be careful if they are portrayed as anything else.\nIt is important to be clear which category each line item falls under when figuring costs: up-front (due upon signing), annual, or ongoing (e.g., SaaS subscription). It is useful to clearly lay out each and compute initial costs, as well as first-year and subsequent years' costings. For example, your initial obligation may be as little as your first year's subscription plus the first 40 hours of services. Different vendors have different policies, however, and you may be required to pay for your first full year's subscription and all services, or some other combination. Normally, though, any instrument interface or other service charges aren't due until the they are implemented, which may be a few weeks or even a month down the road. This may depend on your budget, complexity of the SOW, and urgency. Your first year's expenses will include everything, including initial license fees; all setup and training; any interfaces and additional configurations or customization; and first annual MSW. (If this isn't included in the SaaS subscription, then it usually commences on full system delivery). Afterwards, your subscription and MSW will be the only ongoing expenses (included as one in this example), unless you choose to have additional interfaces or other services performed at any time.\n\nReferences \n\n\n\u2191 Douglas, S.E.

Most aspects of the research and acquisition process are discussed, including specific LIMS functionality that maps to the standard's own requirements for compliance.\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"3.1_Evaluation_and_selection\">3.1 Evaluation and selection<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>What exactly is a LIMS anyway? Do I need one? What options are available and how do I compare them? What about a request for information (RFI), request for proposal (RFP), or request for quotation (RFQ)? These are questions laboratory professionals typically ponder upon finding themselves charged with the mission of finding software for their ISO\/IEC 17025 lab. For many the task can be a daunting proposition.\n<\/p><p>You may know the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Regulatory_compliance\" title=\"Regulatory compliance\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"7dbc9be278a8efda25a4b592ee6ef0ca\">regulatory<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Workflow\" title=\"Workflow\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"92bd8748272e20d891008dcb8243e8a8\">workflow<\/a>, and standard-driven needs of your laboratory, but perhaps you don't know much about <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Information_management\" title=\"Information management\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"f8672d270c0750a858ed940158ca0a73\">data management<\/a> solutions like LIMS\u2014which can better empower your lab to meet those needs\u2014leaving you intimidated by all the options. You'll first need to gauge your lab's informatics needs in order to determine which products are worth investigating further. Of course your lab's analysis requirements, reporting and data sharing constraints, instrument interfacing needs, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Barcode\" title=\"Barcode\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"e0952b5b262392be0995237aec36d355\">barcoding<\/a> and tracking requirements, quality assurance processes, etc. are certainly important factors. But these systems vary in numerous ways, and other important factors exist. Of course, price is one consideration, although value is ultimately more important than a low price. Other important questions that get asked include: \n<\/p>\n<ul><li>Should we purchase software licenses or \"rent\" the software via a subscription-based model?<\/li>\n<li>Does the software need to be on-site, or is a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Software_as_a_service\" title=\"Software as a service\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"ae8c8a7cd5ee1a264f4f0bbd4a4caedd\">SaaS<\/a> hosted option more practical?<\/li>\n<li>Is a modular or complete system better for us?<\/li>\n<li>What is the best licensing\/rental scheme for us? Should we consider site, named user, concurrent user, or workstation licenses?<\/li>\n<li>Is the company qualified and trustworthy?<\/li>\n<li>What functionality is available to help our lab remain compliant with the ISO\/IEC 17025 standard?<\/li><\/ul>\n<p>These and other questions are addressed in this chapter.\n<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"3.1.1_Technology_considerations\">3.1.1 Technology considerations<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Your laboratory's workflow, instruments, data management requirements, budget, technological expertise, business goals, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Risk_management\" title=\"Risk management\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"ecfbfb2550c23f053bd1aa0d9ea63e4e\">risk tolerances<\/a> will all play a role in deciding what technology to invest in. The ISO\/IEC 17025 lab will also be interested in how that technology not only helps with workflow requirements but also better assists the lab with meeting the requirements placed upon them by the standard.\n<\/p><p>As part of this discovery process, many questions may arise. Chief among them may be how to best match the laboratory's goals with one or more informatics solutions. Does the laboratory envision a small investment and modest goals, taking in a slow but steady flow of analytical requests, or do they envision expansive growth, expanding into multiple testing domains? If the lab is starting small but is confidently expecting to grow, technological investments early on may want to take into account future technologies that may shape data management and security processes. The lab will also want to account for how ISO\/IEC 17025 compliance affects future expansion and technology needs. \n<\/p><p>Second, what kind of work will the lab be doing, and what regulatory responsibilities will guide hardware and software investment at the lab? If your lab will be conducting extractable and leachable testing, you'll be considering <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Chromatography\" title=\"Chromatography\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"2615535d1f14c6cffdfad7285999ad9d\">chromatography<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Spectroscopy\" title=\"Spectroscopy\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"2babfd09e1f6d00d86ad7032cbb60d91\">spectroscopy<\/a> instruments, as well as requirements for retaining analytical results for regulators. While the ISO\/IEC 17025-accredited testing lab will have varying needs for instruments depending on what sort of work they are conducting, its data management system will likely need to be sufficiently robust to meet the needs of the standard. For those labs in more regulated spaces, the system will even need to interface to government systems, or at a minimum report in the regulatory body's specific format. These and other considerations will need to be made. (We'll get more into the functionality requirements of the ISO\/IEC 17025 lab in section 3.1.2.)\n<\/p><p>Third, your laboratory's budget is always important. Does the budget allow for on-site hardware and software systems, with the personnel to maintain them? Is it easier to pay up-front or find a vendor willing to work with you on leasing or rental terms? Is their more value to be had from a slightly more expensive system able to provide the functionality that makes ISO\/IEC 17025 compliance more painless for the lab? (We talk about other cost considerations a bit later.) \n<\/p><p>Finally, will the lab have someone on-site or on-call to resolve technology issues, including set-up and maintenance of software systems? If your lab will have little in the way of available tech help locally, you'll want to consider the distribution model you want to use for any installed software, i.e., you may want to consider <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Software_as_a_service\" title=\"Software as a service\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"ae8c8a7cd5ee1a264f4f0bbd4a4caedd\">software as a service<\/a> (SaaS). An increasing number of software services are hosted using <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Cloud_computing\" title=\"Cloud computing\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"fcfe5882eaa018d920cedb88398b604f\">cloud computing<\/a>, which when done well is an increasingly reliable option.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-IzrailevskyCloud18_4-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-IzrailevskyCloud18-4\">[4]<\/a><\/sup> Having someone else host the software for you typically means the hosting provider will carry a non-trivial portion of responsibility for technology maintenance and security. \n<\/p><p>Speaking of security, you'll also want to consider the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Cybersecurity\" class=\"mw-redirect wiki-link\" title=\"Cybersecurity\" data-key=\"ba653dc2a1384e5f9f6ac9dc1a740109\">cybersecurity<\/a> of not only your software solution but also your overall laboratory operations. Does your organization have a cybersecurity plan already in place, or has the decision to make one been postponed? What extra investment is required to ensure your sensitive data is secure? How do your cybersecurity goals compare to the demands of ISO\/IEC 17025? (See section 3.1.3 for more on this.) Remember that how you rank your cybersecurity preparedness and implement a cybersecurity plan will also guide your technology investment decisions.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-DouglasComp20_5-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-DouglasComp20-5\">[5]<\/a><\/sup>\n<\/p><p><b>3.1.1.1 Laboratory informatics options<\/b>\n<\/p><p>Keeping the above in mind, what are the common software solutions used within an ISO\/IEC 17025 laboratory? One of the more commonly discussed options is the LIMS, a laboratory informatics solution designed to assist laboratories with managing testing workflows, data, and other aspects of their operations. \n<\/p><p>The use of LIMS in ISO\/IEC 17025 labs is not a novel concept.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-ApteIsYour20_3-1\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-ApteIsYour20-3\">[3]<\/a><\/sup><sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-6\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-6\">[6]<\/a><\/sup><sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-7\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-7\">[7]<\/a><\/sup><sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-8\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-8\">[8]<\/a><\/sup><sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-9\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-9\">[9]<\/a><\/sup> However, little information can be found as to the percentage of today's ISO\/IEC 17025 laboratories using a LIMS in their workflow. A 2017 survey of 30 ISO\/IEC 17025-accredited laboratories\u201418 responding\u2014by the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) found that of the respondents, only 10 (56%) had any spend on a LIMS.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-APHLLabCost17_10-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-APHLLabCost17-10\">[10]<\/a><\/sup> This is a tiny pool of all laboratories, so it's likely not all that representative of ISO\/IEC 17025-accredited lab use of a LIMS. Yet given:\n<\/p>\n<ol><li>the focus on laboratory competence, impartiality, and consistent operations\u2014and by extension, quality\u2014by the ISO\/IEC 17025 standard developers; and<\/li>\n<li>the connection of improving quality through appropriate use of an informatics solutions like a LIMS (see the next subsection)<\/li><\/ol>\n<p>... it's not difficult to imagine many such labs turning to a LIMS to help them towards quality and compliance goals. In addition, a LIMS or other informatics solution can help eliminate manual processes, improve sample management, increase productivity, and improve regulatory conformance.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-Astrix2020LIMS_11-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-Astrix2020LIMS-11\">[11]<\/a><\/sup> This, of course, lends to the ISO\/IEC 17025 lab's focus on safety, quality, and compliance.\n<\/p><p>A LIMS can improve laboratory workflows and workloads while enhancing safety, quality, and compliance in a number of ways. A fragmented mix of paper-based and electronic information sources can be a detriment to the traceability of or rapid accessibility to quality control samples, standard operating procedures (SOPs), calibration data, chain of custody data, and other vital aspects of analytical, sampling, and calibration testing in the lab. A well-implemented LIMS can reduce the silos of information and data, while at the same time make that information and data more secure and readily accessible. Given the standard's demands for providing rapid proof of traceable sample movement and relevant quality control data, the LIMS acts as the central integrator and audit trail for that information.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-SmithInteg19_12-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-SmithInteg19-12\">[12]<\/a><\/sup><sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-McDermottHowDig18_13-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-McDermottHowDig18-13\">[13]<\/a><\/sup><sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-EvansTheDig19_14-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-EvansTheDig19-14\">[14]<\/a><\/sup> Because the LIMS improves traceability\u2014including through its automated interfaces with instruments and other data systems\u2014real-time monitoring of supply chain issues, quality control data, instrument use, and more is further enabled, particularly when paired with configurable dashboards and alert mechanisms. By extension, labs can more rapidly act on insights gained from those real-time dashboards.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-SmithInteg19_12-1\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-SmithInteg19-12\">[12]<\/a><\/sup> \n<\/p><p>This also means that the lab can react more rapidly to issues that compromise compliance with certification to not only the ISO\/IEC 17025 standard but also other requirements by regulatory agencies like the FDA.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-ApteIsYour20_3-2\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-ApteIsYour20-3\">[3]<\/a><\/sup><sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-PaszkoHow15_15-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-PaszkoHow15-15\">[15]<\/a><\/sup><sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-DanielsUsing17_16-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-DanielsUsing17-16\">[16]<\/a><\/sup> Finally, many modern LIMS tailored to ISO\/IEC 17025 compliance come pre-configured out of the box with analytical and quality control workflow support tools that can be further optimized to a lab's unique workflow.\n<\/p><p>However, the LIMS is not the sole information management solution for ISO\/IEC 17025 laboratories.

Many, but not all, cybersecurity frameworks include a catalog of security controls. Each control is \"a safeguard or countermeasure prescribed for an information system or an organization designed to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of its information and to meet a set of defined security requirements.\"<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-NISTSecurity19_39-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-NISTSecurity19-39\">[39]<\/a><\/sup> These controls give the implementing organization a concrete set of configurable goals to apply to their overall cybersecurity strategy. Other frameworks may be less oriented to security controls and more program-based or risk-based.

Rather than focusing heavily on regulatory conformance, well-designed standards may, when adopted, provide a clearer path of opportunity for organizations to improve their operational culture and outcomes, particularly since standards are usually developed with a broader consensus of interested individuals with expertise in a given field.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-CiocoiuTheRole10_40-1\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-CiocoiuTheRole10-40\">[40]<\/a><\/sup> In turn, the organizations that adopt well-designed standards like ISO\/IEC 17025 likely have a better chance of conforming to the regulations they must, and they'll likely have more interest in maintaining and improving the goalposts of quality and security in the lab.\n<\/p><p>Additionally, reputable software developers of laboratory informatics software will not only adopt their own industry standards for software development but also understand how the ISO\/IEC 17025 and LIMS requirements intersect. In turn, the developed software should meet regulations and standards, help the laboratory comply with its regulations and standards, and be of reliably good quality. \n<\/p><p>If you're a potential buyer of a laboratory informatics solution, it may be that you know a bit about your laboratory's workflow and have at least a remedial understanding of how ISO\/IEC 17025 influences how that workflow is conducted, but you're not entirely informed about all the details of how a LIMS can help your lab better conform to the standard, along with other regulations and standards. Turning to a URS such as LIMSpec\u2014which was developed around laboratory regulations and standards, including ISO\/IEC 17025\u2014and reviewing the various statements contained within may be necessary to help further inform you. Additionally, as you investigate various informatics options, you can then use the requirements in the URS as a base for your laboratory's own requirements list. Using the categories and their subdivisions, you can then add those requirements that are unique to your laboratory and industry that are not sufficiently covered by the base URS. As you review the various options available to you and narrow down your search, your own list of requirements can be used as both as a personal checklist and as a requirements list you hand over to the vendor you query. And since your URS is based off the standards and regulations affecting your lab, you can feel more confident in your acquisition and its integration into your laboratory workflow.\n<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"3.1.5_System_flexibility\">3.1.5 System flexibility<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Before selecting a solution, your laboratory should also have internal discussions about how diversified its offered services are, as well as what the future may bring to the lab. If, for example, your lab is currently configured for one type of testing, does your existing laboratory informatics system\u2014or the ones you may be considering\u2014have the flexibility to add other types of testing, protocols, and workflows? Will you be doing the footwork to add them, or will the vendor of your system support you in that effort? If you're a start-up, will your lab be focusing solely on a specific type of testing and expand into other types of analytical work later, or will your test menu need to be much broader right from the start? In most of these cases, you'll desire a LIMS that is flexible enough to allow for not only running the specific tests you need now, but also sufficiently expandable for any future testing services your lab may conduct in the mid- and long-term. Having the ability to create and customize <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Sample_(material)\" title=\"Sample (material)\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"7f8cd41a077a88d02370c02a3ba3d9d6\">sample<\/a> registration screens, test protocols, labels, reports, specification limit sets, measurement units, and substrates\/matrices while being able to interface with practically most any instrument and software system required will go a long way towards making your expanding test menu and workflows integrates as smoothly as possible.\n<\/p><p>Such a system will typically be marketed as being highly user-configurable, giving labs a relatively painless means to adapt to rapid changes in test volume and type over time. However, once you've internally addressed current and anticipated future growth, your lab will want to learn what explicitly makes any given vendor's system user-configurable. How easy is it to configure the system to new tests? Add custom reports? What knowledge or skills will be required of your lab in order to make the necessary changes, i.e., will your staff require programming skills, or are the administrator and advanced user functions robust enough to make changes without hard-coding? These and other such questions should be fully addressed by the vendor in order to set your mind at ease towards a system's stated flexibility. Ultimately, you want the system to be flexible enough to change with the laboratory\u2014and industry\u2014itself, while minimizing overall costs and reducing the time required to make any necessary modifications.\n<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"3.1.6_Cost_considerations\">3.1.6 Cost considerations<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>First, you'll want to be clear on what will be included in the sales agreement. Whether through an estimate or statement of work (SOW), it is important it includes exactly what is expected, being as specific as possible, since this will be the entire contractual obligation for both you the buyer and them the vendor. Note that line items may differ slightly from system to system, according to what features and functions are included by default with each vendor's solution and which, if any, are additional. Also keep in mind that any hourly amount in the the estimate or SOW is usually a best estimate; however, if sufficient attention to detailed requirements has been given, then it should be quite accurate, and in fact the final cost may even be below the quoted cost if you prioritize your own obligations so that the vendor's hours are used sparingly and efficiently. \n<\/p><p>The estimate or SOW should optimally include:\n<\/p>\n<ul><li>licensing or subscription rates;<\/li>\n<li>required core items to meet federal, state, and local regulations;<\/li>\n<li>additional optional items and totals; and<\/li>\n<li>required services (implementation, maintenance and support, optional add-ons).<\/li><\/ul>\n<p>There are two primary ways to price a laboratory informatics solution: a one-time license fee or a subscription rate (cloud-hosted SaaS). If you have your own dedicated IT department and staff, you may prefer the former (although many system administrators are just as happy to let it be hosted elsewhere rather than add to their workload). Otherwise, a SaaS subscription may well be the better and more cost-effective way to go (since the primary IT cost is simply internet access). This item will be part of your up-front cost and, in the case of subscription, it will also figure into your first year and ongoing costs; otherwise only associated maintenance, support, and warranty (MSW) will figure in. Typically, your first year's subscription costs will be due at signing. More often, the vendor may require three months or even the first year up front, so be prepared to factor that into up-front costs. However, it still is almost always less expensive at the outset (and over time, if you factor in IT costs and annual MSW) than paying for a license fee.\n<\/p><p>In addition to the two types of software pricing, there are also sub-types. Generally these are based on the number of users (or, in some cases, \"nodes,\" which are simply any entities that access the informatics system, including other systems, instruments, etc.). How these are counted can vary.\n<\/p>\n<ul><li>Named users: This method bases pricing on the actual individual users of the system, even if they only log in sporadically. Users may not use each other's logins (this is a no-no regardless of pricing structure, for good laboratory practice and other regulatory reasons).<\/li>\n<li>Concurrent users: This bases pricing on the maximum number of users who will be logged in at any given time. You can define an unlimited number of named users in the system, each with their own login credentials. However, only the number of concurrent users specified in the license or subscription may be logged in at any one time. For example, you may have 10 staff, but due to work processes, shifts, etc., only up to six might ever be logged in simultaneously. Whereas this would require a named user license for 10, it would only require a concurrent user license for six.<\/li>\n<li>Unlimited users: In the case of very large labs (typically 30 to 50 and up), the license or subscription may simply be a flat fee that allows any number of users.<\/li><\/ul>\n<p>The line items in the estimate or SOW should reflect these nuances, as well as whether the listed costs are monthly or annual (for subscription services), hourly (typically for support and training), or a fixed one-time cost. Additionally, be cautious with fixed costs, as they typically represent one of two possible scenarios:\n<\/p>\n<ol><li>Final fixed cost: In this case, the cost has been figured by the vendor so as to cover their worst-case hourly labor total. If a line item (e.g., an interface) is not \"worst case,\" then you are overpaying.<\/li>\n<li>\"Expandable\" fixed cost: This is as bad as final fixed cost, and maybe even worse because it's almost a case of \"bait-and-switch,\" popping up as a surprise. The initial \"fixed cost\" number is low, and additional hourly services are needed to actually deliver the item. This will have been provided for somewhere in the small print.<\/li><\/ol>\n<p>The bottom line is that everything in a laboratory informatics solution is really either licensing or hourly services. Just be careful if they are portrayed as anything else.\n<\/p><p>It is important to be clear which category each line item falls under when figuring costs: up-front (due upon signing), annual, or ongoing (e.g., SaaS subscription). It is useful to clearly lay out each and compute initial costs, as well as first-year and subsequent years' costings. For example, your initial obligation may be as little as your first year's subscription plus the first 40 hours of services. Different vendors have different policies, however, and you may be required to pay for your first full year's subscription and all services, or some other combination. Normally, though, any instrument interface or other service charges aren't due until the they are implemented, which may be a few weeks or even a month down the road. This may depend on your budget, complexity of the SOW, and urgency. Your first year's expenses will include everything, including initial license fees; all setup and training; any interfaces and additional configurations or customization; and first annual MSW. (If this isn't included in the SaaS subscription, then it usually commences on full system delivery). Afterwards, your subscription and MSW will be the only ongoing expenses (included as one in this example), unless you choose to have additional interfaces or other services performed at any time.\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"References\">References<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"reflist references-column-width\" style=\"-moz-column-width: 30em; -webkit-column-width: 30em; column-width: 30em; list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<div class=\"mw-references-wrap mw-references-columns\"><ol class=\"references\">\n<li id=\"cite_note-DouglasHowISO23-1\"><span class=\"mw-cite-backlink\"><a href=\"#cite_ref-DouglasHowISO23_1-0\">\u2191<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"reference-text\"><span class=\"citation web\">Douglas, S.E.

But not all is \"pain\" when making the effort to comply with ISO\/IEC 17025; there is also \"gain.\" Take for example Section 8 on management systems (and by extension, the QMS); the standard tells you that one of the benefits can be found in \"assuring the quality of the laboratory results.\" Does a QMS automatically solve all the lab's problems concerning errors and quality? No, but when implemented well, the QMS will certainly have a positive impact on lab quality. In its 2011 Laboratory Quality Management System: Handbook, the WHO notes the following concerning the QMS model[1]:\n\nLaboratories not implementing a good quality management system are guaranteed that there will be many errors and problems occurring that may go undetected. Implementing a quality management system may not guarantee an error-free laboratory, but it does yield a high-quality laboratory that detects errors and prevents them from recurring.\nComplying with and accrediting to ISO\/IEC 17025 has numerous other benefits aside from generating high-quality laboratory results. Researchers, standard developers, and labs of all types have claimed additional benefits of complying with and accrediting to ISO\/IEC 17025, noting that doing so[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]:\n\ndemonstrates conformance to an international standard that in turn expands a laboratory's business opportunities;\ndemonstrates objectively, through accreditation, provision of quality and technically competent services;\nenhances the reliability, accuracy, and validity of analytical and calibration results produced by the lab;\nenhances the quality of testing, calibration, and sampling methods;\nencourages compliance to other standards of practice;\nfacilitates traceability of measurements and calibrations to appropriate standards;\nencourages a proactive, risk-based organizational culture of quality that in turn enables the lab to better identify, assess, and address risk;\nencourages professionalism and pride within the organization;\naids in controlling costs, improving measurement accuracy, and reducing waste;\nimproves productivity, efficiency, and turnaround times among lab staff;\nimproves reputation and performance in the lab's industry;\nensures specific quality levels, compliance requirements, and customer needs are satisfied; and\nfacilitates cooperation between laboratories and other entities internationally, while also accelerating and improving confidence in international trade.\nReferences \n\n\n\u2191 World Health Organization (2011). \"Laboratory Quality Management System: Handbook\" (PDF).

But not all is \"pain\" when making the effort to comply with ISO\/IEC 17025; there is also \"gain.\" Take for example Section 8 on management systems (and by extension, the QMS); the standard tells you that one of the benefits can be found in \"assuring the quality of the laboratory results.\" Does a QMS automatically solve all the lab's problems concerning errors and quality? No, but when implemented well, the QMS will certainly have a positive impact on lab quality. In its 2011 <i>Laboratory Quality Management System: Handbook<\/i>, the WHO notes the following concerning the QMS model<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-WHOLQMS11_1-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-WHOLQMS11-1\">[1]<\/a><\/sup>:\n<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Laboratories not implementing a good quality management system are guaranteed that there will be many errors and problems occurring that may go undetected. Implementing a quality management system may not guarantee an error-free laboratory, but it does yield a high-quality laboratory that detects errors and prevents them from recurring.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Complying with and accrediting to ISO\/IEC 17025 has numerous other benefits aside from generating high-quality laboratory results. Researchers, standard developers, and labs of all types have claimed additional benefits of complying with and accrediting to ISO\/IEC 17025, noting that doing so<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-NevesKey17_2-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-NevesKey17-2\">[2]<\/a><\/sup><sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-PillaiPract22_3-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-PillaiPract22-3\">[3]<\/a><\/sup><sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-PJC17025_22_4-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-PJC17025_22-4\">[4]<\/a><\/sup><sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-VehringTested20_5-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-VehringTested20-5\">[5]<\/a><\/sup><sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-6\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-6\">[6]<\/a><\/sup><sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-GarberAGuide21_7-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-GarberAGuide21-7\">[7]<\/a><\/sup><sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-AdviseraWhatIs22_8-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-AdviseraWhatIs22-8\">[8]<\/a><\/sup>:\n<\/p>\n<ul><li>demonstrates conformance to an international standard that in turn expands a laboratory's business opportunities;<\/li>\n<li>demonstrates objectively, through accreditation, provision of quality and technically competent services;<\/li>\n<li>enhances the reliability, accuracy, and validity of analytical and calibration results produced by the lab;<\/li>\n<li>enhances the quality of testing, calibration, and sampling methods;<\/li>\n<li>encourages compliance to other standards of practice;<\/li>\n<li>facilitates traceability of measurements and calibrations to appropriate standards;<\/li>\n<li>encourages a proactive, risk-based organizational culture of quality that in turn enables the lab to better identify, assess, and address risk;<\/li>\n<li>encourages professionalism and pride within the organization;<\/li>\n<li>aids in controlling costs, improving measurement accuracy, and reducing waste;<\/li>\n<li>improves productivity, efficiency, and turnaround times among lab staff;<\/li>\n<li>improves reputation and performance in the lab's industry;<\/li>\n<li>ensures specific quality levels, compliance requirements, and customer needs are satisfied; and<\/li>\n<li>facilitates cooperation between laboratories and other entities internationally, while also accelerating and improving confidence in international trade.<\/li><\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"References\">References<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"reflist references-column-width\" style=\"-moz-column-width: 30em; -webkit-column-width: 30em; column-width: 30em; list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<div class=\"mw-references-wrap\"><ol class=\"references\">\n<li id=\"cite_note-WHOLQMS11-1\"><span class=\"mw-cite-backlink\"><a href=\"#cite_ref-WHOLQMS11_1-0\">\u2191<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"reference-text\"><span class=\"citation web\">World Health Organization (2011). <a rel=\"external_link\" class=\"external text\" href=\"http:\/\/apps.who.int\/iris\/bitstream\/handle\/10665\/44665\/9789241548274_eng.pdf?sequence=1\" target=\"_blank\">\"Laboratory Quality Management System: Handbook\"<\/a> (PDF).

Implementing a standard within a regulated business is rarely a straightforward process and has many challenges for all but the most well-organized and -resourced entities. ISO\/IEC 17025 is no exception. At its core, the standard has a focus on quality, but that focus is stated through the lens of a lab's ability to demonstrate its competence, impartiality, and consistency across its operations. This section expands on these three characteristics, as well as the specific demands the standard places on the lab. It will also address a handful of gaps ISO\/IEC 17025 has when compared to similar standards, as well as possible means towards filling those gaps.\n\n 2.2.1 Competence, impartiality, and consistent operations \nThe \"Scope\" section of ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 indicates the standard \"specifies the general requirements for the competence, impartiality, and consistent operation of laboratories.\" Unfortunately, the document only defines \"impartiality,\" and not \"competence\" and \"consistent operation\"; as such, we have to improvise a bit to get to the bottom of the significance of these three terms.[1]\n1. Competence: While ISO\/IEC 17025 does not define \"competence,\" it does reference ISO 15189 Medical laboratories \u2014 Requirements for quality and competence, as well as ISO 17034 General requirements for the competence of reference material producers, in the bibliography. Of them, ISO 15189:2012 defines competence as \"demonstrated ability to apply knowledge and skills,\" while noting that the definition is given in a generic sense, with other ISO documents being more specific.[2] (Note that the latest version is ISO 15189:2022, released in December 2022; however, ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 references the 2012 version.) \nThat said, ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 is asking a laboratory to demonstrate an ability to apply its knowledge and skills effectively to all its operations.\n2. Impartiality: ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 defines \"impartiality\" as \"presence of objectivity,\" adding several notes to the definition. First, the standard adds that \"Objectivity means that conflicts of interest do not exist, or are resolved so as not to adversely influence subsequent activities of the laboratory.\" It also adds nine other terms that can convey the context of impartiality, including \"freedom from conflict of interests,\" \"freedom from bias,\" and \"neutrality.\"[1]\nThat said, ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 is asking a laboratory to demonstrate objectivity in its operations, remaining free from conflicts of interest, bias, and prejudice, while maintaining a level of neutrality to its primary output: analytical results.\n3. Consistent operation: The ISO defines \"consistency\" in several of its standards (e.g., ISO 9241, ISO\/IEC 25000), but the definition is specific to the context of those standards. As such, we have to look elsewhere and make reasonable assumption that the definition of \"consistency\" applies to ISO\/IEC 17025:2017. Merriam-Webster's definition 1b of \"consistency\" is \"harmony of conduct or practice with profession,\" with \"profession\" meaning \"public proclamation\" (i.e., the actual output of conduct or practice matches a stated expectation). This definition applies somewhat, but when paired with definition 3a\u2014\"firmness of constitution or character: persistency\"\u2014we come up with an idea of what the standard intends.[3] \nISO\/IEC 17025:2017 is asking a laboratory to conduct its activities in an enduring manner that is consistent with the lab's goals, mission statement, and standard practices.\n\n2.2.2 Demands on the laboratory \nOf course, that's the top-level view. The rest of the standard elaborates on what a lab performing sampling, testing, and calibration activities must do to meet the three goals of competence, impartiality, and consistent operation, covering[1]:\nSection 4: General requirements,\nSection 5: Structural requirements,\nSection 6: Resource requirements,\nSection 7: Process requirements, and\nSection 8: Management system requirements.\nThe various components of these five sections impact the laboratory in many ways, placing demands on the lab while providing tangible and intangible benefits. The rest of this section will address the \"demand\" side and any gaps in support the standard has, while the subsequent section will address the potential benefits.\nGeneral requirements\nSection 4 of ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 addresses two primary concepts: impartiality and confidentiality. We note that right from the start, one of the three top-level points is addressed in impartiality, asking the lab to maintain commitment to and responsibility for impartiality, while identifying and acting upon any risk to impartiality. Additionally, the standard asks the lab to treat \"all information obtained or created during the performance of laboratory activities\" with confidentiality. This means taking the necessary security precautions to ensure only authorized individuals can have access to laboratory information, and communicating any release of said confidential information in a timely and appropriate fashion should a law or contract mandate its release.[1]\nStructural requirements\nSection 5 of ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 addresses the organizational pillars required of a laboratory in order to meet the three top-level points of competence, impartiality, and consistent operations. It notes that the lab should be a legal entity, held liable by the laws that created it, and that entity should have management that is clearly identified as having responsibility for various operations. That entity must also document its activities, procedures, and methods that fall under the scope of ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 and ensure those activities are conducted in a competent, impartial, and consistent manner. Finally, it recognizes the importance of people to meeting those goals, asking the lab to ensure those people have the authority and resources necessary to create, monitor, and act upon deviations from the lab's procedures, methods, and management systems, including the quality management system (QMS).[1]\nResource requirements\nSection 6 of ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 addresses the importance of resources to the laboratory in meeting its goals and maintaining a high level of standard practice. The standard covers personnel, the facility and working environment, equipment, metrological traceability (through calibration), and third-party products and services. First, personnel must demonstrate competence and impartiality, which must be proven and documented. Those people must also be aware of their duties and responsibilities, while being given the means to perform them. Second, the facility and work environment must be suitable, without negatively impacting analytical results, and the conditions should be monitored, documented, and controlled to prevent and resolve issues with contamination, interference, or other detrimental influences. Third, what is a laboratory without the proper equipment to effectively meet its goals? Here the standard asks labs to provide the necessary in-lab resources to get the job done. Of course, just having that equipment isn't enough, and the standard asks that any measurement equipment be properly calibrated and able to provide accurate and timely results, with documentation concerning the activities of that equipment being recorded. Extending from there is the fourth topic of metrological traceability, defined as \"the \u201cproperty of a measurement result whereby the result can be related to a reference through a documented unbroken chain of calibrations, each contributing to the measurement uncertainty.\u201d[1] The standard goes on to explain how this should best be achieved. Finally, third-party or \"external\" products and services are addressed, asking the lab to ensure those products and services are \"suitable,\" as determined by review and approval within the organization. When working with those third parties, the lab should also be clear in communicating its own requirements to the third party.[1]\nProcess requirements\nSection 7 of ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 is a hefty one, directly addressing the actual work conducted in the laboratory. This section looks at 11 different aspects of workflow in the lab; a brief comment is made about each aspect (it's beyond the scope of this article to go into fine detail)[1]:\n\nBid opportunities and contracts: Describes how labs and their clients should communicate clearly about and carefully document work requirements, test methods, and conformity to a specification or standard, as well as any deviation from or amendment to those agreed-upon items.\nLaboratory methods: Details the level of attention to and fitness of \"methods and procedures for all laboratory activities,\" including how to develop, verify, validate, and document methods, as well as how to handle deviations from those methods.\nLaboratory sampling: Touches upon the importance of quality sampling plans and methods, as well as what they should contain.\nTest and calibration item management: Touches upon how test and calibration items should be handled, from beginning to end of the lab's workflow, as well as how those items should be identified and stored.\nRecord management: Briefly addresses the management of technical records and what they should contain.\nMeasurement uncertainty: Touches upon the topic of evaluating measurement uncertainty.\nResult validation: Describes the importance of result validation, including how results should be monitored and validated, while also addressing proficiency testing, inter-laboratory comparison, and continual improvement for further quality.\nResult reporting: Describes how results should be reported (including statements of conformity, opinions and interpretations, and amendments), as well as what the report should contain in regards to testing, calibration, and sampling.\nComplaint management: Describes how the lab should approach internal and external complaints surrounding its activities and services, emphasizing transparency and proper communication.\nNonconformity management: Emphasizes the procedures required to effectively handle and mitigate nonconforming work.\nData and information management: Recognizes that data and information represent the most critical output of the lab and states how that data and information should be effectively managed to ensure optimal laboratory operations and success.\nManagement system requirements\nSection 8 of ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 addresses the laboratory's management system. While the standard never directly calls it a \"quality management system\" or QMS\u2014in fact, the word \"quality\" only appears once in this section\u2014the implication in the opening paragraph is that the standard is addressing quality with its requirements for a management system, i.e., a QMS[1]:\n\nThe laboratory shall establish, document, implement, and maintain a management system that is capable of supporting and demonstrating the consistent achievement of the requirements of this document and assuring the quality of the laboratory results.\nThis section breaks the management system down into two options: Option A for a lab needing a built-from-scratch management system, or Option B should a lab already have an ISO 9001-driven management system in place. Most of the section is dedicated to addressing Option A and its requirements for proper documentation, document management, risk management, process improvement, corrective action, internal audits, and management review and buy-in.[1]\n\n 2.2.3 Addressing gaps in ISO\/IEC 17025 \nIt's important to note that ISO\/IEC 17025 does not cover compliance with laboratory safety requirements.[4][5] Labs implementing the standard may very well want to examine and adopt components of other QMS frameworks to fill the gaps, for example, implementing the \"Facilities and Safety\" quality system essential (QSE) found in Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute's (CLSI's) QMS01 A Quality Management System Model for Laboratory Services[6] and the World Health Organization's (WHO's) Laboratory Quality Management System: Handbook.[4] (A QSE, as defined by CLSI and WHO, is \"a set of coordinated activities that serve as building blocks for quality management,\" with each needing to be \"addressed if overall laboratory quality improvement is to be achieved.\"[4] Both organizations include 12 QSEs as part of their QMS framework and emphasize that all must be met for overall laboratory quality improvement to be realized.[4][7]) The \"Facilities and Safety\" QSE describes those elements that are essential to a laboratory's personnel, its design, and its safety in being able to prevent and control physical, chemical, and biological hazards from impacting operations. The WHO notes that addressing these elements through a laboratory safety program solidifies the lab's ability to provide quality data and services through protecting laboratorians, the facility, its equipment, and the work environment.[4]\nAside from safety, ISO\/IEC 17025 has a few more minor gaps in how it addresses laboratory assessment tasks and personnel requirements when compared to the \"Assessment\" and \"Personnel\" QSEs of CLSI and WHO.[5] For example, the \"Assessment\" QSE addresses external audits, whereas ISO\/IEC 17025 does not, and the topics of proficiency testing and other external quality assessment methods is more rigorous in the \"Assessment\" QSE. Additionally, while ISO\/IEC 17025 speaks of needing to document competence requirements for personnel, the \"Personnel\" QSE delves into greater detail of competency assessment methods, policy writing, procedure development, training, and performance appraisal. A lab implementing and accrediting to ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 may wish to further compare the nuances of these QSEs with the ISO standard as part of an effort to exceed the bare minimums of meeting ISO\/IEC 17025 requirements.\n\nReferences \n\n\n\u2191 1.0 1.1 1.2 1.3 1.4 1.5 1.6 1.7 1.8 1.9 \"ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories\".

Implementing a standard within a regulated business is rarely a straightforward process and has many challenges for all but the most well-organized and -resourced entities. ISO\/IEC 17025 is no exception. At its core, the standard has a focus on quality, but that focus is stated through the lens of a lab's ability to demonstrate its competence, impartiality, and consistency across its operations. This section expands on these three characteristics, as well as the specific demands the standard places on the lab. It will also address a handful of gaps ISO\/IEC 17025 has when compared to similar standards, as well as possible means towards filling those gaps.\n<\/p>\n<h4><span id=\"rdp-ebb-2.2.1_Competence,_impartiality,_and_consistent_operations\"><\/span><span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"2.2.1_Competence.2C_impartiality.2C_and_consistent_operations\">2.2.1 Competence, impartiality, and consistent operations<\/span><\/h4>\n<p>The \"Scope\" section of ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 indicates the standard \"specifies the general requirements for the competence, impartiality, and consistent operation of laboratories.\" Unfortunately, the document only defines \"impartiality,\" and not \"competence\" and \"consistent operation\"; as such, we have to improvise a bit to get to the bottom of the significance of these three terms.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-ISO17025_17_1-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-ISO17025_17-1\">[1]<\/a><\/sup>\n<\/p><p>1. <b>Competence<\/b>: While ISO\/IEC 17025 does not define \"competence,\" it does reference ISO 15189 <i>Medical laboratories \u2014 Requirements for quality and competence<\/i>, as well as ISO 17034 <i>General requirements for the competence of reference material producers<\/i>, in the bibliography. Of them, ISO 15189:2012 defines competence as \"demonstrated ability to apply knowledge and skills,\" while noting that the definition is given in a generic sense, with other ISO documents being more specific.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-ISO15189_12_2-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-ISO15189_12-2\">[2]<\/a><\/sup> (Note that the latest version is ISO 15189:2022, released in December 2022; however, ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 references the 2012 version.) \n<\/p><p>That said, ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 is asking a laboratory to demonstrate an ability to apply its knowledge and skills effectively to all its operations.\n<\/p><p>2. <b>Impartiality<\/b>: ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 defines \"impartiality\" as \"presence of objectivity,\" adding several notes to the definition. First, the standard adds that \"Objectivity means that conflicts of interest do not exist, or are resolved so as not to adversely influence subsequent activities of the laboratory.\" It also adds nine other terms that can convey the context of impartiality, including \"freedom from conflict of interests,\" \"freedom from bias,\" and \"neutrality.\"<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-ISO17025_17_1-1\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-ISO17025_17-1\">[1]<\/a><\/sup>\n<\/p><p>That said, ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 is asking a laboratory to demonstrate objectivity in its operations, remaining free from conflicts of interest, bias, and prejudice, while maintaining a level of neutrality to its primary output: analytical results.\n<\/p><p>3. <b>Consistent operation<\/b>: The ISO defines \"consistency\" in several of its standards (e.g., ISO 9241, ISO\/IEC 25000), but the definition is specific to the context of those standards. As such, we have to look elsewhere and make reasonable assumption that the definition of \"consistency\" applies to ISO\/IEC 17025:2017. Merriam-Webster's definition 1b of \"consistency\" is \"harmony of conduct or practice with profession,\" with \"profession\" meaning \"public proclamation\" (i.e., the actual output of conduct or practice matches a stated expectation). This definition applies somewhat, but when paired with definition 3a\u2014\"firmness of constitution or character: persistency\"\u2014we come up with an idea of what the standard intends.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-MWPersistency22_3-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-MWPersistency22-3\">[3]<\/a><\/sup> \n<\/p><p>ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 is asking a laboratory to conduct its activities in an enduring manner that is consistent with the lab's goals, mission statement, and standard practices.\n<\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"2.2.2_Demands_on_the_laboratory\">2.2.2 Demands on the laboratory<\/span><\/h4>\n<div class=\"floatright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/File:Daily_Operations_in_the_Core_Lab_Aboard_USNS_Comfort_(49826901392).jpg\" class=\"image wiki-link\" data-key=\"43c3eed690f361a4cea73a4f5e22d464\"><img alt=\"Daily Operations in the Core Lab Aboard USNS Comfort (49826901392).jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/c\/cf\/Daily_Operations_in_the_Core_Lab_Aboard_USNS_Comfort_%2849826901392%29.jpg\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"250\" height=\"375\" \/><\/a><\/div><p>Of course, that's the top-level view.

The rest of this section will address the \"demand\" side and any gaps in support the standard has, while the subsequent section will address the potential benefits.\n<\/p><p><b>General requirements<\/b>\n<\/p><p>Section 4 of ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 addresses two primary concepts: impartiality and confidentiality. We note that right from the start, one of the three top-level points is addressed in impartiality, asking the lab to maintain commitment to and responsibility for impartiality, while identifying and acting upon any risk to impartiality. Additionally, the standard asks the lab to treat \"all information obtained or created during the performance of laboratory activities\" with confidentiality. This means taking the necessary security precautions to ensure only authorized individuals can have access to laboratory information, and communicating any release of said confidential information in a timely and appropriate fashion should a law or contract mandate its release.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-ISO17025_17_1-3\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-ISO17025_17-1\">[1]<\/a><\/sup>\n<\/p><p><b>Structural requirements<\/b>\n<\/p><p>Section 5 of ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 addresses the organizational pillars required of a laboratory in order to meet the three top-level points of competence, impartiality, and consistent operations. It notes that the lab should be a legal entity, held liable by the laws that created it, and that entity should have management that is clearly identified as having responsibility for various operations. That entity must also document its activities, procedures, and methods that fall under the scope of ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 and ensure those activities are conducted in a competent, impartial, and consistent manner. Finally, it recognizes the importance of people to meeting those goals, asking the lab to ensure those people have the authority and resources necessary to create, monitor, and act upon deviations from the lab's procedures, methods, and management systems, including the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Quality_management_system\" title=\"Quality management system\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"dfecf3cd6f18d4a5e9ac49ca360b447d\">quality management system<\/a> (QMS).<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-ISO17025_17_1-4\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-ISO17025_17-1\">[1]<\/a><\/sup>\n<\/p><p><b>Resource requirements<\/b>\n<\/p><p>Section 6 of ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 addresses the importance of resources to the laboratory in meeting its goals and maintaining a high level of standard practice. The standard covers personnel, the facility and working environment, equipment, metrological traceability (through calibration), and third-party products and services. First, personnel must demonstrate competence and impartiality, which must be proven and documented. Those people must also be aware of their duties and responsibilities, while being given the means to perform them. Second, the facility and work environment must be suitable, without negatively impacting analytical results, and the conditions should be monitored, documented, and controlled to prevent and resolve issues with contamination, interference, or other detrimental influences. Third, what is a laboratory without the proper equipment to effectively meet its goals? Here the standard asks labs to provide the necessary in-lab resources to get the job done. Of course, just having that equipment isn't enough, and the standard asks that any measurement equipment be properly calibrated and able to provide accurate and timely results, with documentation concerning the activities of that equipment being recorded. Extending from there is the fourth topic of metrological traceability, defined as \"the \u201cproperty of a measurement result whereby the result can be related to a reference through a documented unbroken chain of calibrations, each contributing to the measurement uncertainty.\u201d<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-ISO17025_17_1-5\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-ISO17025_17-1\">[1]<\/a><\/sup> The standard goes on to explain how this should best be achieved. Finally, third-party or \"external\" products and services are addressed, asking the lab to ensure those products and services are \"suitable,\" as determined by review and approval within the organization. When working with those third parties, the lab should also be clear in communicating its own requirements to the third party.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-ISO17025_17_1-6\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-ISO17025_17-1\">[1]<\/a><\/sup>\n<\/p><p><b>Process requirements<\/b>\n<\/p><p>Section 7 of ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 is a hefty one, directly addressing the actual work conducted in the laboratory.

How ISO\/IEC 17025 affects and benefits laboratories \nISO\/IEC 17025:2017 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories is an internationally recognized standard developed by the International Organization for Standardization's (ISO's) ISO\/CASCO Committee on Conformity Assessment. ISO\/CASCO has stated that the standard was developed \"with the objective of promoting confidence in the operation of laboratories,\" allowing them \"to demonstrate they operate competently, and are able to generate valid results.\"[1] The standard has a long history (as the previous chapter noted), with adoption of the standard increasing steadily since 2010 according to ILAC[2], an international organization for accreditation bodies. However, laboratory adoption of ISO\/IEC 17025 is not particularly easy, especially for small and academic labs[3], and several regions of the world encounter cultural, educational, and cost barriers in attempting to implement management standards like ISO\/IEC 17025 and ISO 9001.[4][5] Additionally, for some laboratories like materials science labs, the process of adopting and implementing ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 initially impacts them in a painful way due to the challenges posed by the restraining nature of the standard on research and development activities, which often require more operational flexibility.[6] However, a number of benefits almost always sprouts from the seeds of effort.[6]\nThe rest of this chapter will go into the details of which laboratories are most affected by the standard, what the standard asks of those laboratories as part of conformance, and what those laboratories gain by putting in the effort to conform to ISO\/IEC 17025.\n\r\n\n\n 2.1 Types of labs affected by ISO\/IEC 17025 \nThe scope section of ISO\/IEC 17025 indicates that the standard \"is applicable to all organizations performing laboratory activities, regardless of the number of personnel.\"[1] Further, in its terms and definitions section, the standard states that a laboratory\u2014for the purposes of the document\u2014is a \"body that performs one or more of ... testing, calibration, [and] sampling, associated with subsequent testing or calibration.\"[1] Of course, when it comes to testing, calibration, and sampling, these types of activities occur in a wide variety of industry contexts, including but not limited to environmental science, forensic science, food and beverage manufacturing, agricultural research, and pharmaceutical manufacturing.\nThe following subsections provide background on the different laboratory operations affected by ISO\/IEC 17025 and give examples of ISO\/IEC 17025-accredited activities, research topics, or calibration targets noted in academic literature. These subdivisions of labs are, in part, influenced by the work of Pillai et al. (though they largely fail to address calibration and reference testing labs in their work; these labs are added here).[7]\n\n2.1.1 Analytical and regulatory testing labs \nThese types of labs conduct analytical tests on a wide variety of substances, materials, and equipment to ensure they are safe, effective, and secure for their application. Often times that testing is being performed due to a regulatory mandate concerning safety and efficacy.[7] Manufacturers of all types of consumables and consumer use products (e.g., pharamaceuticals, foods, and cosmetics) will turn to in-house or third-party analytical and regulatory testing laboratories to perform the recommended or mandated analyses on their products to ensure their quality and safety.[7] Additionally, federal, state, and local governments also have to follow regulations concerning frequent testing of municipal infrastructure, including water, wastewater, and construction activities.[8][9] Yet another example can be found with the analytical activities of the forensic laboratory, which provides a diverse array of investigative services.[10] Examples of activities conducted by these and similar labs under ISO\/IEC 17025 recommendations and protocols include:\n\nanalytical chemistry sampling[11];\nsampling and high-resolution gamma-ray spectrometry of environmental soil, tap water, and aerosol filters[12];\nradiological testing of food and drinking water[13];\nindividual and environmental dosimetry testing[14];\nforensic paternity testing[15];\nforensic anthropology analyses[16]; and\nforensic toxicology and drug analysis.[17]\n2.1.1.1 Product development and manufacturing labs\nThese are a subset of the above-mentioned analytical and regulatory testing labs, with a routine focus on pre-market research and development (R&D) and quality control analyses that help bring a product or service to market. That testing is typically conducted early on in a product lifecycle, based upon a set of predetermined limits set by a manufacturer or other criteria that are in turn driven by regulations and\/or customer requirements.[7] This sort of testing could occur with sourcing ingredients or components to ensure they are certified to not contain allergens or an acceptable and safe level of contaminants, such as heavy metals. It also occurs during the development phase to ensure that any proposed final recipe or manufacturing specification doesn't have any unexpected toxicology or errors and has a reasonable chance of going to market.[18][19] Examples of activities conducted by these and similar labs under ISO\/IEC 17025 recommendations and protocols include:\n\npesticide testing of honey[20];\nnitrogen, protein, moisture, and ash analysis of foodstuffs[21];\ntoxic and allergenic component\/contaminant analysis of consumer cosmetic, personal care, and building products [22];\nlong-range infrared camera development[23]; and\nveterinary low-dose Cannabis sativa extract development.[24]\n2.1.2 Basic and applied research labs \nBasic research labs seek to understand and form theories concerning scientific questions, while applied research labs typically follow that basic research, conducting studies to apply that basic research towards solving practical problems. Both \"conduct their work to support and inform the understanding of science\", as well as drive regulatory support[7], and these lab can benefit from the recommended approach of ISO\/IEC 17025. Basic and applied research labs may appear in academia, in government, or in private industry, studying a wide variety of topics. Research topics in ISO\/IEC 17025-certified labs include (but are not limited to):\n\nveterinary parasitology[25];\nenvironmental chemistry[26];\ndiseases and their pathogenesis[7];\npharmaceuticals[27]; and\ncontract research projects.[28]\r\n\n2.1.3 Reference measurement and calibration labs \nA reference or calibration laboratory performs reference or calibration measurement procedures, or assigns reference values to test objects, later potentially providing those associated reference values for references or sources of traceability of test results.[29][30][31] ISO\/IEC 17025 saw the addition of calibration laboratories to its focus in 1990 through its predecessor document ISO\/IEC Guide 25 General requirements for the competence of calibration and testing laboratories as a greater means of lending \"support for national systems, thus easing bilateral agreements\" associated with laboratory testing.[32][33][34] In other words, with international trade hitting new records[35], it's more important than ever that an internationally recognized standardized approach to analyzing globally traded products is enacted, and the equipment and standards used for those analyses are themselves properly calibrated and maintained.[36] (After all, when the biggest output of a lab is its analyses, it's best to ensure they are precise, accurate, and timely.) Laboratory equipment isn't all that's getting calibrated, however. Reference and calibration labs also calibrate important equipment in other fields of expertise. Examples of instruments and equipment getting calibrated to a standard in ISO\/IEC 17025 calibration labs include:\n\nradiation monitoring instruments[13];\nelectronic medical equipment[37];\nlaser and optical communication equipment[38]; and\nhigh-accuracy Global Navigation Satellite System-based instruments.[39]\n2.1.4 A note about clinical laboratories \nYou may notice that the clinical laboratory doesn't appear in the above listing. That is because quality management in the clinical lab is best guided by ISO 15189:2022 Medical laboratories \u2014 Requirements for quality and competence. (This is not to say that ISO\/IEC 17025-compliant environments haven't conducted clinical analyses, as they have[40][41][42][43], but it's not the most ideal standard to be compliant with in the clinical environment, and ISO 15189 is increasingly common in hospital and clinical labs.[44]) The standard, which received an update in December 2022, is described by the ISO as being \"applicable to medical laboratories in developing their management systems and assessing their competence. It is also applicable for confirming or recognizing the competence of medical laboratories by laboratory users, regulatory authorities, and accreditation bodies.\"[45] Development of the standard began in the mid-1990s due to the lack of applicability ISO\/IEC 17025 and ISO 9001 had to clinical labs. First published in February 2003, the standard was, however, developed with ISO\/IEC 17025 and ISO 9001 in mind, taking the technical requirements of the first and the quality management requirements of the latter, while also adding input on professional requirements from the European Communities Confederation of Clinical Chemistry (EC4).[46] All said, ISO 15189 is arguably the best quality management standard for clinical laboratories as it takes into consideration the specific requirements of the medical environment and the importance of the medical laboratory to improving patient safety and outcomes.[47]\nA potential companion to ISO 15189:2022 is the World Health Organization's Laboratory Quality Management System: Handbook. Though a bit outdated, as it was developed in 2011, the WHO handbook is based off of ISO 15189 and Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute's (CLSI's) QMS01 A Quality Management System Model for Laboratory Services (or more specifically, its predecessor documents HS1 and GP26[48][49]).[47] The WHO and CLSI tend to go beyond ISO\/IEC 17025 by incorporating 12 quality system essentials (QSEs)\u2014\"a set of coordinated\nactivities that serve as building blocks for quality management\"\u2014as part of their QMS framework and emphasize that all must be met for overall clinical laboratory quality improvement to be realized.[47][50]\nFor more on this topic, see Plebani and Sciacovelli's \"ISO 15189 accreditation: Navigation between quality management and patient safety.\"\n\nReferences \n\n\n\u2191 1.0 1.1 1.2 \"ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories\".

From here, it's useful to examine the importance of the laboratory itself to society. In the guide The Laboratories of Our Lives: Labs, Labs Everywhere!, the first chapter emphasizes the ubiquity of the laboratory in the fabric of society, despite the lab being largely invisible to the average individual[1]:\nLaboratories play an integral role in modern life, ubiquitous and often unseen by the average person. They improve quality of life, act as hotbeds of discovery, and help us make sense of our universe, particularly in the capable hands of the tens of thousands of professionals who work in them. But the laboratory as we know it today is actually a relatively new concept. It wasn't always as sectionally organized, well-staffed, and well-equipped. To gain a better sense of how common the laboratory is to our lives, we must first briefly look at the past history of laboratory research and how it developed from a philosophical and more selfish endeavor to one more focused on analysis and the benefits to society.\nLabs can be a hotbed of economic activity, as found with the United States' Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois, which claimed in 2021 to employ more than 3,400 people and have an approximately $168 million total economic impact on the state.[2] Labs can also be a significant source of innovation to society, with the old Bell Telephone Laboratories at its peak employing some 1,200 PhDs and being responsible for the creation of vital technologies such as solid state components, wireless telephony technology, the C programming language, and the Unix operating system (thanks to Bell researchers like Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie).[3] In fact, laboratories are often at the heart of a company's R&D efforts towards bringing people new products. Vehicle[4] and makeup[5] users alike are affected by manufacturing laboratories that research, design, test, and quality control their products. Clinical labs help keep current and future generations healthy, and forensic labs help bring justice to the wronged. Of course, calibration laboratories are vital to ensuring the precise measurement and production values of any equipment those other laboratories strongly depend on. \nHowever, labs can and do fail (completely, or at their tasks)[6][7][8], like any other business. This can happen for a number of reasons[6][7], though insufficient attention to risk and quality management is usually a major contributor.[8][9][10] In fact, data and quality management are arguably at the heart of aiding not only in reducing errors in laboratory processes but also more rapidly recovering from errors in and strengthening the quality of processes.\nLabs of all types should be addressing quality within their operations, particularly when those operations affect human and animal health. \"Quality management is as applicable for the medical laboratory as it is for manufacturing and industry,\" states the World Health Organization (WHO) in its 2011 Laboratory Quality Management System: Handbook.[11] While the medical laboratory is better covered by ISO 15189 for its quality needs, the WHO's statement highlights that all laboratories can benefit from implementing quality management principles. This includes food and beverage laboratories, water and wastewater laboratories, and calibration laboratories, among many others. \nPast research has shown that a well-implemented quality plan, paired with quality indicators, is significantly associated with improving laboratory services and client satisfaction.[12] In particular, the customer or client is increasingly seen as the most important element driving laboratory quality, supported by effective QMS implementation and improvement. \"A QMS with customer focus as its heart is the core foundation for a business striving to attain distinction irrespective of technology, commercial strategy or organizational philosophy,\" notes Udoh and Eluwole, adding that \"at the end of the day, the quality of a product will be determined by whether or not it fulfills customer requirements.\"[13] By extension, the end user of a product or service will be not only more satisfied but also safer for it. \nOne can look to the Galaxy Note 7 battery explosion issue from Samsung in 2016 as an example, with 13 people known to have been injured and 47 reports of property damage having been filed.[14] Later analysis by Counterpoint Research noted of the Galaxy Note 7 situation that \u201cvery often, laboratory times and testing periods are shrunk to expedite approval and release-to-market of key devices; it is possible all charging scenarios were not thoroughly tested.\"[13] The end result is injuries, property loss, and dissatisfied customers who begin to look elsewhere for a safer, more reliable product. The clinical and public health lab offers another example, with the World Health Organization (WHO) noting the negative consequences of laboratory error include unnecessary treatment, treatment complications, failure to provide the proper treatment, a delay in a correct diagnosis, greater costs, and poor patient outcomes. The cure, they add, is effectively implementing the QMS and adopting internationally recognized laboratory standards.[15] Finally, the food supply chain can become adulterated by lack of quality and regulation (i.e., food fraud); however, laboratories focused of fighting food fraud and ensuring manufacturer quality help reduce public health threats, improve customer confidence and satisfaction, and improve economic output.[16]\nQuality management also improves overall costs and efficiency for not only the laboratory but also society.[17][18][19][20] Raiborn and Payne noted this in the mid-1990s while discussing the topic of \"total quality management\"[20]:\n\nWho benefits from prompt, reasonable-cost throughput? The answer is easy: everyone. Customers benefit because they get what they want, when they want it, and at a reasonable price. Satisfied customers are repeat customers, which means that employees benefit because production and, therefore, jobs will continue. The company benefits because shortened lead time means lowered investment and faster cash flow; satisfied, repeat customers and efficient processes also mean higher profits and, thus, happy stockholders. Society benefits because there is greater availability of resources for alternative purposes since prices have fallen (or greater value is being provided for the same price) and companies will continue in business, providing numerous positive societal effects from their existence (tax payments, employment, charitable contributions, etc.).\nWhile Raiborn and Payne's quote specifically refers to improvements in costs and efficiency within the organization due to proper quality management, their words sum up quite well the overall benefits to society laboratory quality management brings. A product or service\u2014whether it be the analytical results of the laboratory itself or the larger macro view of safer, more high-quality products and services via laboratory testing\u2014that meets customer requirements is the end result of quality laboratory work, and society benefits from it thanks in part to well-implemented quality management mechanisms. Without them, products and services are more risky to use, more apt to have health-impeding impurities and contaminates, less beneficial, and more expensive.\n\nReferences \n\n\n\u2191 Douglas, S.E.

From here, it's useful to examine the importance of the laboratory itself to society.

They improve quality of life, act as hotbeds of discovery, and help us make sense of our universe, particularly in the capable hands of the tens of thousands of professionals who work in them. But the laboratory as we know it today is actually a relatively new concept. It wasn't always as sectionally organized, well-staffed, and well-equipped. To gain a better sense of how common the laboratory is to our lives, we must first briefly look at the past history of laboratory research and how it developed from a philosophical and more selfish endeavor to one more focused on analysis and the benefits to society.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Labs can be a hotbed of economic activity, as found with the United States' Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois, which claimed in 2021 to employ more than 3,400 people and have an approximately $168 million total economic impact on the state.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-ArgonneOurImpact_2-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-ArgonneOurImpact-2\">[2]<\/a><\/sup> Labs can also be a significant source of innovation to society, with the old Bell Telephone Laboratories at its peak employing some 1,200 PhDs and being responsible for the creation of vital technologies such as solid state components, wireless telephony technology, the C programming language, and the Unix operating system (thanks to Bell researchers like Ken Thompson and Dennis Ritchie).<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-GertnerTheIdea13_3-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-GertnerTheIdea13-3\">[3]<\/a><\/sup> In fact, laboratories are often at the heart of a company's R&D efforts towards bringing people new products.

This includes food and beverage laboratories, water and wastewater laboratories, and calibration laboratories, among many others. \n<\/p><p>Past research has shown that a well-implemented quality plan, paired with quality indicators, is significantly associated with improving laboratory services and client satisfaction.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-12\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-12\">[12]<\/a><\/sup> In particular, the customer or client is increasingly seen as the most important element driving laboratory quality, supported by effective QMS implementation and improvement. \"A QMS with customer focus as its heart is the core foundation for a business striving to attain distinction irrespective of technology, commercial strategy or organizational philosophy,\" notes Udoh and Eluwole, adding that \"at the end of the day, the quality of a product will be determined by whether or not it fulfills customer requirements.\"<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-UdohTheImpact17_13-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-UdohTheImpact17-13\">[13]<\/a><\/sup> By extension, the end user of a product or service will be not only more satisfied but also safer for it. \n<\/p><p>One can look to the Galaxy Note 7 battery explosion issue from Samsung in 2016 as an example, with 13 people known to have been injured and 47 reports of property damage having been filed.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-HeathmanWeFinal17_14-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-HeathmanWeFinal17-14\">[14]<\/a><\/sup> Later analysis by Counterpoint Research noted of the Galaxy Note 7 situation that \u201cvery often, laboratory times and testing periods are shrunk to expedite approval and release-to-market of key devices; it is possible all charging scenarios were not thoroughly tested.\"<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-UdohTheImpact17_13-1\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-UdohTheImpact17-13\">[13]<\/a><\/sup> The end result is injuries, property loss, and dissatisfied customers who begin to look elsewhere for a safer, more reliable product. The clinical and public health lab offers another example, with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/World_Health_Organization\" title=\"World Health Organization\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"2a49f1470638d5f579e3f6419e239b03\">World Health Organization<\/a> (WHO) noting the negative consequences of laboratory error include unnecessary treatment, treatment complications, failure to provide the proper treatment, a delay in a correct diagnosis, greater costs, and poor patient outcomes.

The answer is easy: everyone. Customers benefit because they get what they want, when they want it, and at a reasonable price. Satisfied customers are repeat customers, which means that employees benefit because production and, therefore, jobs will continue. The company benefits because shortened lead time means lowered investment and faster cash flow; satisfied, repeat customers and efficient processes also mean higher profits and, thus, happy stockholders. Society benefits because there is greater availability of resources for alternative purposes since prices have fallen (or greater value is being provided for the same price) and companies will continue in business, providing numerous positive societal effects from their existence (tax payments, employment, charitable contributions, etc.).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While Raiborn and Payne's quote specifically refers to improvements in costs and efficiency within the organization due to proper quality management, their words sum up quite well the overall benefits to society laboratory quality management brings. A product or service\u2014whether it be the analytical results of the laboratory itself or the larger macro view of safer, more high-quality products and services via laboratory testing\u2014that meets customer requirements is the end result of quality laboratory work, and society benefits from it thanks in part to well-implemented quality management mechanisms. Without them, products and services are more risky to use, more apt to have health-impeding impurities and contaminates, less beneficial, and more expensive.\n<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"References\">References<\/span><\/h2>\n<div class=\"reflist references-column-width\" style=\"-moz-column-width: 30em; -webkit-column-width: 30em; column-width: 30em; list-style-type: decimal;\">\n<div class=\"mw-references-wrap mw-references-columns\"><ol class=\"references\">\n<li id=\"cite_note-DouglasLabs22-1\"><span class=\"mw-cite-backlink\"><a href=\"#cite_ref-DouglasLabs22_1-0\">\u2191<\/a><\/span> <span class=\"reference-text\"><span class=\"citation web\">Douglas, S.E.

While it is true that ISO 9001 is mentioned in the context of complying with ISO\/IEC 17025, there are several differences, though the critical concept of quality management is found in both. Let's first talk about what ISO 9001 and the 9000 series are geared to do and how they address quality management.\nThe ISO 9000 family of standards addresses the fundamentals of QMSs for an organization[1], including the eight management principles on which the family of standards is based.[1][2] ISO 9001 deals with the requirements that organizations wishing to meet the standard have to fulfill.[3] In turn, third-party certification bodies provide independent confirmation that organizations wishing to adhere to the standard meet the requirements of the standard.\nQuality management is defined by ISO 9000 as a set of \"coordinated activities to direct and control an organization with regard to quality.\" By extension, those coordinated activities require sufficient \"organizational structure, resources, processes and procedures\" in order to implement quality management throughout the enterprise, otherwise known as a quality system.[4]\nNote that the discussion so far has focused on how the standard addresses the \"organization\" seeking to improve quality. That's because ISO 9001 is directed at all kinds of organizations operating in any type of industry and sector, whereas ISO\/IEC 17025 specifically targets testing, calibration, and sampling laboratories. There are other differences from ISO\/IEC 17025 as well, the most significant being that ISO 9001 deals strictly with deploying a QMS in the organization, whereas ISO\/IEC 17025 expands into a toolbox of requirements for ensuring not only quality but also the \"competence, impartiality, and consistent operation of laboratories.\"[5]\nFinally, accrediting to either of the two standards is also a different process, which highlights the inherent differences between the two standards. As laboratory consultancy Perry Johnson Consulting notes, the difference between the ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 and ISO 9001:2015 standards can be found in comparing the accreditation process: \"ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation is recognition of a laboratory\u2019s competence to produce technically valid results, while ISO 9001:2015 registration of a laboratory is limited to QMS conformance.\"[6] They add that ISO\/IEC 17025:2017's \"technical competency requirements go beyond QMS registration and relate specifically to the qualifications needed with regard to personnel, equipment, facilities, and laboratory methods.\"[6]\nFrom this, we may be tempted to conclude that\u2014at least for the non-clinical laboratory (non-clinical because the clinical lab usually turns to ISO 15189:2022 Medical laboratories \u2014 Requirements for quality and competence)\u2014ISO\/IEC 17025 is the quality management standard to comply with, end of story. However, the utility of ISO 9001 to the laboratory should not be completely dismissed. For those struggling with implementing the management system portion of ISO\/IEC 17025, additional inspiration and guidance may be found in ISO 9001. For example, ISO 9001:2015 provides additional scope in establishing a QMS, particularly through identifying problematic issues and important stakeholders. It also expands discussion about the importance of organizational leadership establishing quality policy and the organization developing quality objectives, as well as the greater need for identifying organizational knowledge and fully implementing monitoring and measurement mechanisms.[7] From this, the laboratory may gain additional benefits by supplementing their ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 compliance with some aspects of ISO 9001:2015, further enabling a more risk-based approach to managing quality in the lab.[7] (For more about how the laboratory benefits from ISO\/IEC 17025:2017, see section 2.3 of the next chapter.)\n\nReferences \n\n\n\u2191 1.0 1.1 Tsim, Y.; Yeung, V.; Leung, E.

Introduction to ISO\/IEC 17025 \nISO\/IEC 17025:2017 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories is an internationally recognized standard that places requirements on testing, calibration, and sampling laboratories to demonstrate \"the competence, impartiality, and consistent operation\" of their business activities.[1] At its core, the standard places a strong focus on implementing procedural and quality management mechanisms as a means towards meeting those goals. ISO\/IEC 17025 has a long history that dates back to a time when international trade in the 1970s saw Japan leading the charge with its total quality efforts, driven by the desire to rebuild shattered industries after World War II. Japanese products just couldn't compete with the quality of other industrialized nations, and the Japanese clamored for something better. That focus on total quality eventually spread Westward in the 1980s.[2][3] To this day, this desire for higher-quality goods and services by customers, clients, and other stakeholders continues to drive innovation and expansion in industry. Such is the path with quality, a trait demanded by and benefiting society in many ways.\nThe ISO\/IEC 17025 standard is one of a few standards that focuses on managing quality in the organization, yet it goes beyond standards like ISO 9001 by not only encouraging use of a quality system (i.e., a quality management system or QMS) but also setting standards of unbiased operational competence and consistency. The standard also is clear in its audience: testing, calibration, and sapling labs. Not all labs choose to adopt the standard, but those that do tend to find it rewarding, if not also a bit challenging.\nThe rest of this chapter will examine the ISO\/IEC 17025 standard and its origins, and how it compares to standards like ISO 9001. It will also address how those labs choosing to embrace the standard provide a net benefit to society as a whole.\n\r\n\n\n 1.1 History of ISO\/IEC 17025 \nISO\/IEC 17025's origins go back to the mid-1970s, when a conference on cross-border acceptance of laboratory test data led to the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) beginning work on what would eventually become ISO Guide 25 Guidelines for assessing the technical competence of testing laboratories, with that work ultimately getting turned over to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). The intent of developing the guide, published in 1978, was to gain international cooperation towards improving the world's laboratory services by promoting a scheme for accredited laboratory test results, such that the results could be more readily accepted across national borders.[4][5][6] That first guide didn't address the activities of calibration labs, however, and it would require further revisions, as the general guidelines towards proving a lab's technical competence were also inadequate.[5] For the next version\u2014released in 1982 as ISO\/IEC Guide 25: General requirements for the technical competence of testing laboratories\u2014the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) became involved. That version saw upgrades in proving technical competence, as well as the addition of the requirement for a quality system, though this revision also didn't address calibration labs.[5] The next version, released in 1990 as ISO\/IEC Guide 25 General requirements for the competence of calibration and testing laboratories, finally addressed calibration labs and, with the help of the Council Committee on Conformity Assessment (CASCO), lent \"support for national systems, thus easing bilateral agreements\" associated with laboratory testing.[4][5][6] It also added notice that by meeting the requirements of ISO\/IEC Guide 25, labs would also comply with the ISO 9000 standard, which also focused on quality. Four years later, CASCO pushed to turn ISO\/IEC Guide 25 into a full standard, and by 1999, ISO\/IEC 17025:1999 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories was born, which also met the requirements of ISO 9001.[4][5][6]\nSince then, the standard has seen two additional revisions, one in 2005 and another in 2017.[4][5][6] With the ISO 9001 standard being in revision at the same time ISO\/IEC 17025:1999 was ready to release, the standard's views on ISO 9001 when published were antiquated, requiring the 2005 update.[5] The 2017 version included new requirements for competency, impartiality, and consistent laboratory operation and took on a revised structure from its 2005 predecessor, with the 2005 division between technical management and quality management being replaced by \"a more unified focus on a laboratory's general responsibility management.\"[5] (For more on the differences between the 2005 and 2017 version, see the National Association of Testing Authorities' (NATA's) gap analysis document comparing the two.[7]) As of January 2023, ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 remains the latest version of the standard, putting a focus on labs seeking competent, impartial, and consistent results, with a focus on an efficient management system (i.e., a QMS).\n\nReferences \n\n\n\u2191 \"ISO\/IEC 17025:2017 General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories\".

ISO\/IEC 17025 has a long history that dates back to a time when international trade in the 1970s saw Japan leading the charge with its total quality efforts, driven by the desire to rebuild shattered industries after World War II. Japanese products just couldn't compete with the quality of other industrialized nations, and the Japanese clamored for something better. That focus on total quality eventually spread Westward in the 1980s.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-ASQTotal_2-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-ASQTotal-2\">[2]<\/a><\/sup><sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-3\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-3\">[3]<\/a><\/sup> To this day, this desire for higher-quality goods and services by customers, clients, and other stakeholders continues to drive innovation and expansion in industry. Such is the path with quality, a trait demanded by and benefiting society in many ways.\n<\/p><p>The ISO\/IEC 17025 standard is one of a few standards that focuses on managing quality in the organization, yet it goes beyond standards like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/ISO_9000\" title=\"ISO 9000\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"53ace2d12e80a7d890ce881bc6fe244a\">ISO 9001<\/a> by not only encouraging use of a quality system (i.e., a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Quality_management_system\" title=\"Quality management system\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"dfecf3cd6f18d4a5e9ac49ca360b447d\">quality management system<\/a> or QMS) but also setting standards of unbiased operational competence and consistency. The standard also is clear in its audience: testing, calibration, and sapling labs. Not all labs choose to adopt the standard, but those that do tend to find it rewarding, if not also a bit challenging.\n<\/p><p>The rest of this chapter will examine the ISO\/IEC 17025 standard and its origins, and how it compares to standards like ISO 9001. It will also address how those labs choosing to embrace the standard provide a net benefit to society as a whole.\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"rdp-ebb-1.1_History_of_ISO\/IEC_17025\"><\/span><span class=\"mw-headline\" id=\"1.1_History_of_ISO.2FIEC_17025\">1.1 History of ISO\/IEC 17025<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>ISO\/IEC 17025's origins go back to the mid-1970s, when a conference on cross-border acceptance of laboratory test data led to the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) beginning work on what would eventually become ISO Guide 25 <i>Guidelines for assessing the technical competence of testing laboratories<\/i>, with that work ultimately getting turned over to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/International_Organization_for_Standardization\" title=\"International Organization for Standardization\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"116defc5d89c8a55f5b7c1be0790b442\">International Organization for Standardization<\/a> (ISO). The intent of developing the guide, published in 1978, was to gain international cooperation towards improving the world's laboratory services by promoting a scheme for accredited laboratory test results, such that the results could be more readily accepted across national borders.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-SquirrelConform08_4-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-SquirrelConform08-4\">[4]<\/a><\/sup><sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-MiguelISO21_5-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-MiguelISO21-5\">[5]<\/a><\/sup><sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-VehringTested20_6-0\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-VehringTested20-6\">[6]<\/a><\/sup> That first guide didn't address the activities of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Reference_laboratory\" title=\"Reference laboratory\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"f719f408e1660f86b53857eef2f13f32\">calibration labs<\/a>, however, and it would require further revisions, as the general guidelines towards proving a lab's technical competence were also inadequate.<sup id=\"rdp-ebb-cite_ref-MiguelISO21_5-1\" class=\"reference\"><a href=\"#cite_note-MiguelISO21-5\">[5]<\/a><\/sup> For the next version\u2014released in 1982 as ISO\/IEC Guide 25: <i>General requirements for the technical competence of testing laboratories<\/i>\u2014the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/International_Electrotechnical_Commission\" title=\"International Electrotechnical Commission\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"25341e03365f68cab3f247b7508a23e5\">International Electrotechnical Commission<\/a> (IEC) became involved.

Douglas\nLicense for content: Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International\nPublication date: February 2023\n\r\n\nWhen it comes to international standards for laboratories, ISO\/IEC 17025 is arguably one the most recognizable. With its focus on helping testing, calibration, and sampling laboratories to demonstrate \"the competence, impartiality, and consistent operation\" of their business activities, a strong focus on quality becomes apparent. Given the standard's demands, an increasing number of labs have turned to laboratory informatics solutions like the laboratory information management system (LIMS) and electronic laboratory notebook (ELN) to help not only improve laboratory workflows but also better comply with ISO\/IEC 17025.\nThis guide introduces the topic of ISO\/IEC 17025 and addresses how the standard impacts laboratories attempting to adopt and comply with it. More importantly, it examines what LIMS features are vital to helping the lab achieve its standard-based goals, with the help of the user requirements specification (URS) LIMSpec. It then addresses other important aspects of system acquisition, including tips on how to best put the URS and documents such as the request for information (RFI) to use. The guide also includes additional resources helpful to the lab seeking to comply to the ISO\/IEC 17025 standard.\nThe table of contents for LIMS Selection Guide for ISO\/IEC 17025 Laboratories is as follows:\n\r\n\n\n1. Introduction to ISO\/IEC 17025\n1.1 History of ISO\/IEC 17025\n1.2 ISO\/IEC 17025 vs. ISO 9001\n1.3 How we benefit from ISO\/IEC 17025 laboratories<\/dd>\n2.

Given the standard's demands, an increasing number of labs have turned to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Laboratory_informatics\" title=\"Laboratory informatics\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"00edfa43edcde538a695f6d429280301\">laboratory informatics<\/a> solutions like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Laboratory_information_management_system\" title=\"Laboratory information management system\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"8ff56a51d34c9b1806fcebdcde634d00\">laboratory information management system<\/a> (LIMS) and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Electronic_laboratory_notebook\" title=\"Electronic laboratory notebook\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"a9fbbd5e0807980106763fab31f1e72f\">electronic laboratory notebook<\/a> (ELN) to help not only improve laboratory <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Workflow\" title=\"Workflow\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"92bd8748272e20d891008dcb8243e8a8\">workflows<\/a> but also better comply with ISO\/IEC 17025.\n<\/p><p>This guide introduces the topic of ISO\/IEC 17025 and addresses how the standard impacts laboratories attempting to adopt and comply with it. More importantly, it examines what LIMS features are vital to helping the lab achieve its standard-based goals, with the help of the user requirements specification (URS) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/LII:LIMSpec_2022_R2\" title=\"LII:LIMSpec 2022 R2\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"fcfd093af650d866ae1ed9ed8bbc08f9\">LIMSpec<\/a>. It then addresses other important aspects of system acquisition, including tips on how to best put the URS and documents such as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.limswiki.org\/index.php\/Request_for_information\" title=\"Request for information\" class=\"wiki-link\" data-key=\"b19b81bb3a45e15359e41459243529fc\">request for information<\/a> (RFI) to use.
