I have a question regarding 7.1.5.3.2, External Laboratory.
If equipment calibration activities are done on site, using our purchased traceable standards, by a person contracted by us just for this activity, is that considered EXTERNAL or INTERNAL laboratory calibration? I was thinking that if ask our lab team to confirm this person is following our calibration procedures, then maybe they could just be considered a 'temporary lab employee' rather than an 'external service provider.'
I’m trying to decide if I need to ask them to become ISO 17025 accredited.
Thoughts?
