KAJIAN PEMENUHAN PERSYARATAN STRUKTURAL ISO/IEC 17025:2017 DI LABORATORIUM MARINE CHEMISTRY UNIVERSITAS MARITIM RAJA ALI HAJI

Abstract

Laboratory quality is defined as the accuracy, reliability and timeliness of reported test results. Quality can be measured based on the level of conformity to a standard. ISO/IEC 17025:2017 is an international standard that can be used as quality and competence guidelines. Marine Chemistry is a laboratory in Maritime Raja Ali Haji University that has not been accredited by ISO/IEC 17025:2017. The research objectives were to analyze the quality of Marine Chemistry Laboratory and provide recommendations according to the fulfillment of structural requirements ISO/IEC 17025:2017. This research used the gap analysis method. Assessment of the laboratory quality was obtained by measuring the percentage of gap analysis to requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2017. The requirements studied include structural requirements (clause 5) which is foundation of application flow ISO/IEC 17025:2017. Quantitative data from assessment results indicated that Marine Chemistry Laboratory has implemented 79% of structural requirements with an appropriate but inconsisten category. Recommendation prepared based on the non-conformity of actual conditions against competency requirement of ISO/IEC 17025:2017
