Streamlining Lab Efficiency and Enhancing Compliance
Automated Reporting Module
In the fast-paced world of automotive testing, accuracy and efficiency are paramount. One of the most time-consuming aspects of lab operations is the creation of detailed reports for project managers (PMs), engineers, and customers. Traditionally, compiling test results, interpreting data, and formatting reports has been a manual, labor-intensive task that takes several hours per test. However, with Avantsum’s Automated Reporting Module, this process is significantly streamlined, saving valuable time and reducing the risk of human error.

ISO Compatibility
For Automotive Lab Reports
In the automotive industry, laboratory test reports must comply with certain standards to ensure consistency, reliability, and traceability. By offering ISO-compatible reports, Avantsum ensures that its reporting module aligns with internationally recognized standards, facilitating smoother interactions with clients and meeting industry requirements. On the right are some of the key ISO norms that automotive lab reports should adhere to.
This is the most critical ISO standard for laboratories. It specifies the requirements for the competence, impartiality, and consistent operation of laboratories. Lab reports produced under ISO 17025:2017 must contain certain elements to comply with the standard, including:
- A clear description of the test methods used
- A traceability of the measurement results to national or international standards
- The identification of the laboratory and the report’s origin
- The test result in a clearly interpretable format
ISO 9001 outlines the criteria for a quality management system, which is applicable to any organization that needs to demonstrate its ability to consistently provide products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements. For automotive labs, this means that their test reports must be produced under a system that ensures the test procedures are carried out correctly, that there’s a record of compliance with specifications, and that the results are reproducible and traceable.
This standard specifically applies to the automotive sector. It requires that suppliers within the automotive industry meet stringent requirements for quality management. Test reports must comply with this standard, ensuring that results are reproducible, that all measurement equipment is calibrated, and that testing procedures are documented properly.
For labs involved in safety-related testing for automotive components, compliance with ISO 26262 is crucial. This standard addresses functional safety in automotive systems and defines requirements for testing components that may affect the safety of the vehicle. Test reports in this context need to show that all functional safety requirements have been met and that the components tested are safe for use.
For automotive labs focused on environmental testing, such as assessing vehicle emissions or material environmental impact, ISO 14001 provides guidelines for an environmental management system (EMS). Reports that comply with ISO 14001 should document the environmental impact of the materials or components tested and include appropriate measures for waste disposal and recycling where necessary.

Key Benefits of the Automated Reporting Module
The core benefit of the Automated Reporting Module lies in its ability to generate reports quickly and accurately. Instead of manually entering data and creating reports from scratch, the module uses pre-defined templates to automatically fill in relevant test data. This means that the majority of the information is already pre-populated, saving several hours of manual work for each individual test. The reports are ready to be sent directly to project managers and customers, ensuring a faster turnaround and enhanced customer satisfaction.
Additionally, these reports can be customized to meet the specific needs of the recipients, whether it’s a PM, an engineering team, or a customer. Avantsum’s reporting module is versatile, allowing different stakeholders to receive reports that are tailored to their requirements. Whether it’s a detailed breakdown of test results for engineers or a high-level summary for project managers, the system is designed to adapt to different reporting needs.

How Avantsum's Reporting Module Enhances Efficiency
By integrating ISO-compliant templates into its automated reporting system, Avantsum ensures that the test reports generated are consistent, accurate, and aligned with industry standards. This integration not only saves time but also reduces the chance of errors, particularly when working with complex data sets and regulatory requirements. Test engineers no longer need to manually format reports to meet these standards; instead, they can rely on pre-configured templates that ensure compliance with ISO norms, improving efficiency while reducing the risk of non-compliance.
In summary, Avantsum’s Automated Reporting Module not only saves companies several hours per test but also ensures that the reports generated are ISO-compatible. With the ability to produce reports that adhere to key standards such as ISO/IEC 17025:2017, ISO 9001:2015, and ISO 26262, automotive laboratories can focus more on testing and innovation rather than administrative tasks, enhancing both productivity and compliance.
