This guide provides management with a tool toassist in determining how well their laboratory is performingrelative t

38、o established laboratory quality practices. A scoringscheme is suggested to assist the laboratory in identifyingessential elements and to prioritize corrective actions.5. Significance and Use5.1 This guide can be used to evaluate the performance of alaboratory with regards to its adherence to establ

39、ished labora-tory quality practices for the essential elements of managing awell-performing laboratory. The suggested scoring system canbe used to identify the laboratory areas which need improve-ment in performance.5.2 The assessment guide (Table 1) should be adjusted ormodified to reflect the spec

40、ific laboratory quality system thatthe laboratory follows. This guide is based on Practice D6792.5.3 Similar but more generic schemes can be found in otherASTM standards such as Guide E548, E882, E994, and E1323.But this guide is the first one to attempt a numerical evaluationfor the petroleum produ

41、cts and lubricants testing laboratories inthe oil industry.6. Scoring System6.1 The suggested scoring system is given in Table 2.Laboratory areas to be self-assessed are arranged by rationalgroups. The areas and maximum aggregate scores for these aregiven in Table 2.6.1.1 Usually safety practices in

42、 a laboratory would becovered by a separate organizational structure. However, giventhat safety should be an integral part of laboratory operations,brief and salient points from this aspect are included in thisguide, but without a corresponding numerical score.Aseparateand more complete safety asses

43、sment would be desirable.6.1.2 It is recognized that a laboratorys performance can bemeasured by other criteria such as customer satisfaction whichinvolves other factors than those assessed here.6.1.3 Judgment must be used by an assessor regardingwhether the laboratory practice fully meets, partiall

44、y meets, ordoes not meet the stated requirements. Thus, partial credit canbe given depending upon the extent of compliance. A weightshould be given to each question based on its importance sincenot all requirements are of the same critical nature. Thus, theassessors observation associated with a spe

45、cific to a questionfrom Table 1 could be:Yes Good All : Max ScorePartially Satisfactory Most : Max ScoreNo Poor Some : ZeroN/A N/A None : N/A6.2 Most of the questions in Table 1 have been assigned amaximum of 10 or 20 rating points. Calibration and qualitycontrol sections carry the greatest total we

46、ight in the scoringsince these two areas are perhaps the most important onesassociated with producing accurate and precise data. Allanswers should be supported by available documents in thelaboratory.6.3 If a particular question does not apply to the activity ofthe laboratory in question, the maximu

47、m score possible shouldbe reduced by the test score allocated to that item.6.4 In many cases notes are provided at the end of the Table1 to help the assessor to understand the intent of the questions.6.5 For scoring purposes guide in Table 3 may be used. Thelaboratory may find it necessary to provid

48、e additional guidancefor scoring when there is only a partial fulfillment of therequirement.6.6 An assessment grade can be established as indicated inTable 4. The grade can be based on either a maximum possiblescore of 1300, or as a percentage of the maximum score for amodified scheme.6.7 A laborato

49、ry or an assessor may use a different scoringsystem so long as it remains consistent with the essentialelements cited in this Guide and weighting provided in Table 2.6.8 Appendix X1 provides examples responses for some ofthe questions from Table 1 as it may relate to a hypotheticalissue.6.9 For some questions in this guide there is no quantitativeanswer. The assessor should use discretion in reviewing suchanswers. An assessor should particularly pay attention whetherthe laboratory response is adequate as a good practice.6.10 The most critical a
