13
Do quality manuals
need to be re-
written to reflect
the new format of
the standard?
14
• Short answer: no
• Considerations:
– Revisions are likely necessary
– The system is for the laboratory – not
the accreditation body or the
assessors – or the Quality Manager!
15
• Are quality manuals even a requirement
any more?
16
• Short answer: no
• Does that mean you’re going to get rid
of your quality manual?
– If there is no quality manual, then
what do I have in place in my system
to demonstrate that a requirement is
met? Is it shareable and usable?
– If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it…

18
• Even though a “policy” or “procedure”
may not be explicit, how does a
laboratory demonstrate that it meets the
requirement?
• Caveat – if a policy and procedure is
working for a laboratory, there is no
need to delete it from the system just
because the requirement is seemingly
gone!
