WE HAVE HAD FINDINGS TWICE BECAUSE WE CANNOT LOCATE OUTSIDE CALIBRATION SUPPLIERS THAT ARE GUIDE 25 CERTIFIED. WE DO HAVE SUPPLIERS THAT ARE ISO CERTIFIED, BUT OUR REGISTRAR SAYS THAT IS NOT SUFFICIENT. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY LINES ON ALTERNATIVES TO GET AROUND THIS REQUIREMENT, OR LISTS OF GUIDE 25 SUPPLIERS. I AM IN VIRGINA AND DON'T HAVE MUCH TO CHOOSE FROM LOCALLY.

I picked up all of these in a SEARCH here on the forum and there were a bunch more you might want to try.

I suggest you are being cited 'illegally'. As far as I understand it you do have to use a laboratory with a PLAN to achieve registration to Guide 25.

After you read the linked thread, if you still have questions come back and ask away.

Yeah, Marc, I think you're right. Although the author of this thread did not say whether the findings led to a Corrective Action Request being generated or it led to an observation, either way it should be challenged.

THANKS FOR THE INFO. YES WE DID GET CORRECTIVE ACTION WRITEUPS AND ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO CHALLENGE THEM. REGISTRAR IS PRI.

No problem, but PLEASE - no more ALL CAPITALS messages! Thanks!
