Quality Assurance in the Forensic Laboratory

This is the fifth webinar in the ASCLD Train the Director Webinar Series.

During this event, Arizona Department of Public Safety (AZDPS) shares their lab wide transition effort from 17025:2005 to 17025:2017. In November 2018, the AZDPS team completed their assessment with ANAB and will share experiences and lessons learned that may be helpful for labs working through the transition this year. AZDPS will share their strategy and accomplishments during the effort as well as helpful hints on how to transition various disciplines and administration to the new format and requirements in the 17025:2017 and AR 3125.

Detailed learning objectives:
1. Key areas to focus on when transitioning from 17025:2005 to 2017
2. Strategy on how to effectively make the transition within the laboratory
3. Lessons learned from the assessment process between the lab and ANAB
