I am looking into possibly getting 9001:2008 accreditation and I was just curious exactly what would be involved in the independant assesment?

Thanks

I think maybe I am over thinking it.
The reason for me asking this is because I sell a few medial products which were designed and created by me and I am looking to start selling these to NHS customers officially where I beleive they will send me a PO, I bill NHS for it etc.

I read somewhere they have this requirement but i am not 100% sure so I will need to look into it further if it is an actual requirement or more of a just nice to have.

Overall seems to be a pain in the back side from what all of you have said haha

Having this shows that you have a sound Quality management plan in place/followed and that everything is traceable.

Basically, we can show that every numerical result that we produce can be traced to an engineer, performing a set task, with a specific sample, on a piece of equipment.

It can then be demonstrated that the Engineer was trained to conduct that task, on that piece of equipment, by a qualified trainer, for that task/equipment and was deemed competent.

Then we can show that the equipment was the right piece to be used, and was in calibration. Calibrated by an engineer trained and deemed competent by a qualified trainer.... etc, etc, etc.

With work instructions, procedures and records all in place.It also goes some way to ensure constant upgrading and improvement of the system and procedures.

It's a hell of a lot of work to put it together, but once complete should make everything run like clockwork.....
