1.1 This standard specifies the general requirements for the competence of laboratories to conduct tests and/or calibrations, including sampling capabilities. These tests and calibrations include those conducted using standard methods, non-standard methods, and methods developed by the laboratory. 1.2 This standard applies to all organizations engaged in testing and/or calibrations, including first-party, second-party, and third-party laboratories, as well as laboratories that conduct testing and/or calibrations as part of inspection and product certification work. This standard applies to all laboratories, regardless of the number of staff or the scope of testing and/or calibration activities. When a laboratory does not engage in one or more activities included in this standard, such as sampling and the design (development) of new methods, it may not adopt the requirements of the relevant clauses in this standard.
