Technical System Audit Clause Samples

Technical System Audit. The technical system (TSA) audit will be conducted by the RTI Quality Manager prior to the start of the project activities. This audit will evaluate all components of the data gathering and management system to determine if these systems have been properly designed to meet the quality assurance objectives for this study. The TSA includes a careful review of the experimental design, the test plan, and procedures. This review includes personnel qualifications, adequacy and safety of the facilities and equipment, standard operating procedures (SOPs), and the data management system. The TSA begins with the review of study requirements, procedures, and experimental design to ensure that they can meet the data quality objectives for the study. During the system audit, the Task QA Officer or designee will inspect the analytical activities and determine they adherence to the SOPs and the Test/QA Plan. The RTI Quality Manager or a designee reports any area of nonconformance to the project leader, program manager, and division director through an audit report. The audit report may contain corrective action recommendations. If so, follow-up inspections may be required and should be performed to ensure corrective actions are taken.
