FMEA (Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) is a tool that has been used in industry for evaluating risk in the design of products. It is also useful as a tool for evaluating risk in a calibration process or any other quality-related process. In this presentation, you will learn about the risk analysis requirements for the new 2017 version of ISO 17025. An overview of various tools that may be used for risk analysis will be covered.
