So I'm looking at the Ed. 7 auditor checklist ... and for laboratories it states:
If external laboratory analysis is used you must demonstrate that such analysis is completed by a laboratory that is accredited to ISO 17025 or equivalent standard methods. These methods may be described in the your specifications indicating that the laboratory is classified as an Approved Supplier in the business under clause 2.4.5.
We have... 25 samples tested by an outside facility every year (12 beef trimming samples for E.coli ... 13 water samples for coliforms) ... and I know for a fact that the lab used is not ISO 17025 accredited.
My question is ... what would constitute an "equivalent standard" .... ?
