Due to a current lack of suppliers of accredited calibration services for calibration laboratories, compliance to QS-9000:1998 Third Edition laboratory requirements, 4.11.2.b.1, may be satisfied if the supplier has a documented plan to assure that, effective January 1, 2001, the supplier is fully in compliance with QS-9000:1998 Third Edition cl. 4.11.2.b.1 requirements.
More information is available in a QS-9000 Laboratory Requirements Self Study Guide available from AIAG at (USA) 248-358-3003 and on the AIAG website: http://www.AIAG.org/quality."
I now have to get back to my A2LA application package.
