The measure uncertainty computing, the data quality assurance, the methods validation and, more in general, the metrology, are often a difficul barrier to be overcome by many professionists in the sector of chemical analysis, expecially by who works in testing laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC/ 17025:2005.
The major difficulties derive from the development and the organization of electronic papers for the management of various metrological sectors of the laboratory for which is necesarry to involve uman resources with high specialization, and to whom a specific formation of the matter should be given.
A laboratory that uses a system for the measure quality assurance and that accepts to use most complex and less adaptable electronic papers, is aware to adopt a lot of risks in economic and technical terms.
Therefore, the necessity to develop a platform, able to simplify and guide all that decide to convert the approach to the management of the meteorological aspects, arises.
The OQLAB ideators have decided to confide in a team of experts, with years of experience in the accreditated laboratories, and, therefore, able to develop an easy and versatile product, within reach of all.
The biggest challenge has been to make easy what is not, that is to create a software updatable and reliable to the necessities of each laboratory, considering all the formal aspects, foundamental to guarantee the data reliability and the accreditation.
Therefore, OQLAB has implemented all the software modules and the reports, giving a code and reporting the revision and the accepted data; it permits to guarantee to the users the time traceability of the firmware of all the sections.
In order to give an optimal service, the experts team has edited validation reports for each section, so that they are easy recalled in the procedure of quality assurance for the users.
Moreover, OQLAB offers the possibility to modify and to implement the tools in accordance with the sector regulatory updates. The updates are implemented by 3 months from the publication date, with the emission of validation files.
Under requests, OQLAB gives a service of consultation and of formation for laboratory that asks to be accredited, and also for those already accredited.
After subscribing a subscription, the users can use all the new tools inserted in the platform without an additive cost.
Thanks to the computing alghoritms, developed in accordance with the most important sectorial standards, OQLAB gives a total vision of the data used to support the measurement processes; moreover, OQLAB is an instrument usefull to revision and to improve the processes by the more advanced statistical tools.
The management of the platform accesses is a very useful function; therefore, the users can have an 'Administrator' or 'Client' function, that permits to define the user responsibility level.
The website has been realized by the Responsive Web Design technique, and it has been projected and created to permit an optimal visualization from any device, desktop (e.g. pc, notebook), and mobile (e.g. smartphore, tablet).
The revolution has begun ........ do not miss the opportunity to be part of it!
Estimation of measurerement uncertainty: in accordance with the sectorial main technical documents, this section offers to the user the possibility to calculate the uncertainty of the test results with various approaches. Easy and intuitive tools permit to obtain in an easy way validation reports with metrological, holistic, Horwitz and ISO 11352 approaches.
Quality assurance:in this section various tools permits to control over the time the laboratory performance. Shewhart control charts, in accordance with ISO 7870-2, duplex tests, compared with the precision obtained by the estimation of complete uncertainties of T-H charts, the possibility to insert the results of proficiency tests on control charts, the possibility to validate over the time the obtained uncertainty estimations are available.
