6. Is there restricted access to your organization with appropriate security in place to prevent unauthorised access to hazardous areas and confidential material?
   
   

7. Are the results of control samples or standards recorded and periodically evaluated to identify any requirements for further validation or competency training?
   
   

8. Is each inspector equipped with the necessary equipment and reference materials to conduct the inspections and tests specified for each inspection discipline?
   
   

9. Does your organization have procedures for the calibration of equipment, including calibrations and verifications performed prior to being placed in service?

Unless you are talking a one-time, single-use project within a business, there should be a process. Whether that process is managed and implemented by humans, AI, or a combination of the two, it needs to be designed by someone with a complex enough perspective to ask the right questions. Someone capable of asking the right questions and step back and say, 'What are we really trying to accomplish here? And is there a different way to look at it?'



This Toolkit empowers people to do just that - whether their title is entrepreneur, manager, consultant, (Vice-)President, CxO etc... - they are the people who rule the future. They are the person who asks the right questions to make ISO 17025 investments work better.
