Question that I have been mulling:
From the standard:
6.6.1 The laboratory shall ensure that only suitable externally provided products and services that affect laboratory activities are used, when such products and services:
a) are intended for incorporation into the laboratory’s own activities;
b) are provided, in part or in full, directly to the customer by the laboratory, as received from the external provider;
c) are used to support the operation of the laboratory.
NOTE Products can include, for example, measurement standards and equipment, auxiliary equipment, consumable materials and reference materials. Services can include, for example, calibration services, sampling services, testing services, facility and equipment maintenance services, proficiency testing services and assessment and auditing services.
I would love some feedback in the scenarios:
a. the equipment was bought at auction, for instance
b. the equipment was purchased from a colleague in the industry, privately
c. the equipment was purchased via a re seller on something like Amazon or E bay
I am sure you get the drift.
Thoughts on how to approach this?
