Interesting point. I was just reading a new article in NCSLI news magazine, and one sentence was interesting .... "...Labs do not have to be accredited to claim compliance to the standard..."
So as an ISO17025 Accredited lab, does this mean that for example, if there is a high accuracy calibration service provider that "complies" to ISO17025 (I mean this in the most ethical of ways - absolutely not issues of trying to sneak anything in - I want to make proper measurements), is it permissible under the right circumstances to use calibrations from such a vendor as a contributor to a calibration within my scope of accreditation.
This is in an article about the new draft of ISO17025 being worked on.
This has always I thought been a clear line. Guess I need to revisit some of these details.
