In this course participants will learn about essential concepts and practices to equip employees with the skills and knowledge on how to handle Calibration effectively for Life Sciences.

During the course the basics of calibration will be explained, providing the skills and knowledge for participants to be able to:

• Describe international and national calibration standards (e.g., ISO/IEC 17025, NIST).
• Interpret regulatory requirements and ensure compliance within the calibration processes.
• Define calibration and its importance in ensuring measurement accuracy and reliability.
• Explain key concepts related to calibration, such as traceability, uncertainty, and standards.
• Identify various calibration techniques and their appropriate applications.
• Understand and know how to perform appropriate tolerance calculations using different methods.
• Recognise different calibration procedures performed on different types of instruments.
• Define the key requirements for a suitable cGxP Calibration Certificate.
• Appreciate the concept of calibration bracketing.
  

During the course calibration management will be explained, providing the skills and knowledge for participants to be able to:

• Develop and implement effective calibration schedules for various instruments and equipment.
• Determine appropriate calibration frequency based on instrument usage, criticality, and historical performance data.
• Understand the risks of an inappropriate cGxP Calibration Frequency.
• Create and maintain accurate calibration records and certificates.
• Calculate and interpret measurement uncertainty.
• Implement strategies to minimize and manage uncertainty in calibration processes.
• Identify common calibration issues and implement corrective actions.
• Troubleshoot and resolve calibration-related problems efficiently.
• Integrate calibration management into the broader quality management system.
• Conduct internal audits and reviews of the calibration process to ensure continuous improvement.
• Assess and mitigate risks associated with calibration processes.
• Develop appropriate GxP contingency plans to address potential calibration failures or inaccuracies.
• Understand how to Categorise Calibrations based on Criticality.
