a quick visit to nist.gov/nvlap can help you with a checklist. You can access NIST HB 150, which is the NVLAP guide to accreditation. You can also download the HB 150 checklist from this home page. If you check off every requirement on it, you have exceeded requirements of 17025:2005.

Also, Quametec Corporation offers the best uncertainty training out there.

nist.gov/nvlap - This site has been a tremendous help - Thanks.

Does anyone know of any similar online resources concerning SPC or GD&T?

In section 4.1.3 of ISO 17025 there is a requirement for the management system in remote locations - if i do not intend to work in remote locations does the policy still need to be incorporated?

Also - Is there any reference matarial out there that can help me to determine what the best mesuremant strategy is and why it is necessary to mesure a certain way?

As for the remote part.....document that you do not have any remote commitments or work and leave it at that.....your AB should accept that.

I'm thinking that you need some expert help here, not just on a clause by clause basis. Have you been to any implementation training? That's a great place to share this type of question, rather than trying to answer each item as it presents itself. May I also ask, why is an internal lab going for accreditation? If you don't offer your services to outside customers, and get paid to calibrate or test their equipment/products, I rather doubt that accrediting an internal lab is going to a) be worth the efforts and b) be cost justifiable.
TS 16949 doesn't require you to have an accreditedlab and I've worked with plenty of TS companies which had a lab but didn't go to the cost/work of accrediting it.

Are your management fully informed to make this (costly) decision?

Well we are a TS certified production company but my imediate superior would like to make our department profitable and in order to do this he feels it is necessary to become ISO certified so we can begin quoting layout work for other companies. I do not believe he is aware of the cost that will be associated with this and he gave the project to me to begin the first steps of determining what it will take to reach the standard before we start spending mone on aquiring the standard.
A training class would require money so i am trying to get the individual questions answered here by the wealth of knowledge that seems to be available... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated though.
