Publication of new version of T015 Explanatory notes to EN ISO/IEC 17025
The RvA (Dutch Accreditation Council) has published a new version of T015 on Explanatory Notes to EN ISO/IEC 17025.
Compared to version 6.1 dated June 8, 2022, the following significant changes have been made:
• The document has been redesigned and the introduction has been updated.
• Additional explanations have been provided for several criteria.
• Several new interpretations have been added as a result of submitted interpretation disputes and cases handled by RvA Lead Assessors.
With RvA-T015 the RvA wants to give its accredited laboratories insight into interpretations of ISO/IEC 17025 criteria.
Several times a year RvA Lead Assessors discuss cases and specific topics. It is possible to submit cases related to interpretations of ISO/IEC 17025 (but also regarding ISO/IEC 17043 and ISO 17034 interpretations); these can be forwarded to RvA Lead Assessor Ido Dijkstra (ido.dijkstra@rva.nl). If relevant, outcomes of cases may be included in a subsequent revision of RvA-T015.
