5.3  Accommodation and environmental conditions.
âą The laboratory needs to ensure that facilities and environmental conditions do
not adversely affect tests or calibrations.
âą Particular care is necessary for sampling and testing / calibration at off-site
locations
âą Some tests / calibrations require specified environmental conditions. The
laboratory must monitor that these conditions are met and not proceed if the
conditions are not met.
âą In some types of tests, effective separation of Test / calibration area may be
required
âą Access to areas affecting quality should be controlled.
âą The laboratory should install measures for good house keeping

5.4 Test and calibration methods and method validations
The laboratory should normally carry out tests or calibrations using âStandard
methodsâ.
These are methods published in national / International standards, reputable
technical organizations, or in relevant scientific texts or journals, or as specified
by the manufacturer of the equipment
Methods cover sampling, handling, transport, storage and preparation of items to
be tested and/or calibrated, and, where appropriate, an estimation of the
measurement uncertainty
Laboratory can also use self developed methods for its own use
Non-standard method, can be used for performing tests / calibrations for
customers but these need to be approved by him
Laboratory developed methods and non standard methods require validation
Validation can be carried out through calibration with reference materials, inter-
lab comparisons, systematic evaluation of influencing factors
13. Team HimalayaTeam Himalaya
