ISO/IEC FDIS 17065 6.2.2: External resources (outsourcing)

What does 6.2.2 require?

The body may outsource evaluation only to organisations that satisfy the relevant standards where they apply and any scheme documents. Testing must meet ISO/IEC 17025, inspection ISO/IEC 17020 and management system auditing ISO/IEC 17021, and the impartiality rules for evaluation personnel always apply. Where the work goes to a non-independent body, such as a client laboratory, the body must manage it so that the results can be trusted and keep records that justify that confidence. There must be a legally binding contract with the provider, including confidentiality and conflict of interest provisions. The body remains responsible for all outsourced activity; must ensure the provider and its people are not involved in a way that could undermine the credibility of the result; It must keep written rules, processes and records for qualifying, assessing and monitoring providers; must keep a list of approved providers; must take corrective action for breaches; and must tell the client in advance so that the client can object. Hiring an individual on a contract is not outsourcing.
