To standardize all aspects of laboratory testing work and ensure that laboratory operations meet requirements, a complete set of management systems must be established to clarify the control procedures and specific operational requirements for various laboratory tasks. Laboratory management systems should be formulated based on the specific conditions of the enterprise's laboratory, such as its scale and tasks, and mainly include the following items:
1. Management System for the Use of Chemicals and Glassware
Laboratories require a wide variety of chemicals, reagents, and glassware. Most chemicals possess certain toxicity and hazards. Strengthening the management of these substances is not only necessary for ensuring the accuracy of analytical data but also for maintaining safety. This system covers aspects such as the procurement management of chemicals, the classified storage management of chemicals, the usage management of chemicals, the management of self-prepared reagent solutions, and the usage management of glassware.
2. Management System for Sampling, Sample Retention, and Samples
This system is established to ensure the accuracy and traceability of analytical data, facilitate review, meet analytical requirements, and clarify quality responsibilities. It mainly includes provisions for sampling management, provisions for sample retention management, and requirements for sample retention management.
3. Management System for Analytical Data
Analytical data, mainly consisting of original records and various quality analysis reports, are important materials that laboratories need to store properly. This system mainly includes requirements for recording original data, requirements for organizing original record data, and the retention period for data materials.
4. Management System for Analytical Instruments and Equipment
Proper management of analytical instruments and equipment is a key part of laboratory management, as it plays a crucial role in ensuring the stable and accurate operation of the instruments and equipment. The main contents of this system include the pre-purchase management of instruments and equipment, the use, maintenance, and upkeep of instruments and equipment, the repair, renewal, and transformation of instruments and equipment, the basic management of instruments and equipment, and the verification and assessment of instruments and equipment.
5. Laboratory Testing System
This system is designed to standardize testing procedures and behaviors, ensure the effectiveness and timeliness of production analysis and testing, provide accurate quality data, and meet the compliance requirements of the quality system. Its main contents include testing procedures, operational requirements for testing, requirements for quality records, and provisions for reporting test results.
6. Safety Management System
Ensuring the safe and effective conduct of laboratory work is an important part of laboratory management. The safety management system includes: provisions for formulating laboratory safety rules, regulations for the management of hazardous substances, regulations for the handling of harmful chemicals, regulations for the safe use of gas cylinders, rules for safe electricity use, rules for fire prevention and explosion protection, and the formulation and implementation of regulations for preventing poisoning, chemical burns, cuts, and corresponding first-aid measures.
7. Sanitation Management System
Laboratory work has strict requirements for sanitation. The sanitation management system mainly includes provisions for laboratory sanitation, provisions for the personal hygiene of laboratory personnel, and provisions for sanitation inspection and assessment.
8. Confidentiality System
To enhance the confidentiality awareness of laboratory personnel and strengthen the enterprise's quality management, confidential management should be implemented for technical materials related to the laboratory's rights and interests. This system includes the content of confidentiality, the scope of confidentiality, and provisions for the circulation and borrowing of technical documents and materials within the confidential scope.
