BRC Acceptability of Lab Accreditation Change
Started by chrisolson, Jun 10 2025 07:47 PM
Hi!
The lab I use for testing has been acquired by another company. They have changed from ISO/IEC 17025 to TN'I NELAP standards.
In the documents provided it sounds close but of course not the same. They pitch several items that are above standard or added on but still says they do not meet 17025, Would this be acceptable in BRC?
thanks

Clause 5.6.6 specifically states ISO 17025. While it's possible I guess to go for the spirit rather than the accreditation, I'd personally be looking for another lab. I have enough to do without supplier adding complexity to my life. "Why have they made that change?" That's my first question as an auditor.
