Structure Requirements cite those issues related to the people, plant, and other organizations used by the laboratory to produce its technically valid results. Process Requirements are the heart of this version of the standard in describing the activities to ensure that results are based on accepted science and aimed at technical validity. Management System Requirements are those steps taken by the organization to give itself quality management system tools to support the work of its people in the production of technically valid results.
Some national systems e. Additionally, the laboratory will be expected to keep abreast of scientific and technological advances in relevant areas. In common with other accreditation standards of the ISO series and unlike most ISO standards for management systems , third party auditing assessment of the laboratory is normally carried out by the national organization responsible for accreditation. ISO series. In short, accreditation differs from certification by adding the concept of a third party Accreditation Body AB attesting to technical competence within a laboratory in addition to its adherence and operation under a documented quality system, specific to a Scope of Accreditation.
Around the world, geo-political regions such as the European Community, and Asia-Pacific, the Americas and others, established regional cooperations to manage the work needed for such mutual recognition.
In the U. These bodies accredit testing and calibration labs, reference material producers, PT providers, product certifiers, inspection bodies, forensic institutions and others to a multitude of standards and programs. It does not matter which AB is utilized for accreditation.
The MRA arrangement was designed with equal weight across all economies. ABs include:. In the U. These bodies accredit testing and calibration labs, reference material producers, PT providers, product certifiers, inspection bodies, forensic institutions and others to a multitude of standards and programs.
It does not matter which AB is utilized for accreditation. The MRA arrangement was designed with equal weight across all economies. ABs include:. The CLAS program provides quality system and technical assessment services and certification of specific measurement capabilities of calibration laboratories in support of the Canadian National Measurement System. In other countries there is often only one Accreditation Body.
Typically these bodies encompass accreditation programs for management systems, product certification, laboratory, inspection, personnel and others:. It also aligned more closely with the version of ISO [3] The version of the standard comprises five elements; Normative References, Terms and Definitions, Management Requirements, and Technical Requirements.
