ISO/IEC 17025:2017 - General Requirements for Testing and Calibration 6.6: Externally provided products and services

Products and services from external providers that affect the laboratory's activities may be used only if they are suitable, whether they become part of its own activities, go to the customer exactly as received, or support how it runs. It shall have a procedure, and keep records, for: defining, reviewing and approving what it requires of them; setting criteria for evaluating, selecting, monitoring and re-evaluating providers; making sure what is provided meets the laboratory's requirements, or what this document requires of it, before it is used or passed on to the customer; and acting on the outcome of evaluations. It shall tell providers what products and services are needed, the acceptance criteria, the competence and qualifications required of their people, and any activity that it or its customer plans to carry out on the provider's premises.
