AUDILAB - QUALITY AUDIT SIMULATION TO PREPARE BIOMEDICAL TESTING LABORATORIES FOR ACCREDITATION

In order to prepare biomedical laboratories for accreditation a qualit y audit simulator has been developed. By means of a dialogue with the laboratory, AUDILAB simulates the process by which the auditor identif ies deviations or assesses conformity to the standard. AUDILAB is base d on a knowledge processing system accessible via Minitel (French vide otex terminal), With reference to the EN 45001 standard which is the E uropean standard concerning the ''General criteria for the operation o f testing laboratories'', it provides an assessment of the laboratory' s degree of conformity and prompts it to take corrective action.
