A Look at ISO/IEC 17025:2017 – Section 6.6: Externally Provided Products and Services
When you are selecting a potential vendor, you are selecting a partner in your business, and you will trust them to work with you in a professional and profitable manner. It is important that you choose a company that can supply your current and future needs. Section 6.6 combines both purchasing and subcontracting. This webinar will look at the requirements for retaining records and having procedural information regarding your critical suppliers. This includes the basis for qualifications which are needed along with the expanded requirement of monitoring of the performance and re-evaluation of your critical suppliers. Communicating your needs to your supplier will be reviewed along with informing your customer if you had the need to subcontract their tests or calibrations.
Presented by: PJLA Calibration Program Manager, Michael Kramer
