Annexure: TEST DEMONSTRATIONS AND REVIEW
As part of the IAS accreditation criteria and ISO/IEC 17025 standard, test demonstrations must be observed and reviewed.
Please have the following procedures/records for review:
- Copy of standards and test procedures
- Training and qualification records of the staff demonstrating the test
- Calibration records of the relevant equipment for the corresponding test
Test methods for demonstration:
| Test Standard/Method* | Title* | Comments (if any) |
|---|---|---|
| ASTM C39 | Compressive Strength of Concrete cylinders | This is an existing test on the scope of accreditation |
| ASTM E29 | Tunnel test | I dont know if that is correct |
| ISO 13485:2016 | Medical Devices |
Test methods for equipment review:
| Test Standard/Method* | Title* | Comments (if any) |
|---|---|---|
| ASTM E465 | this is the title of the standard | This is a review of the competence and equipment set up, no actual testing was available for witness |
Note:
- Where test methods require samples to be conditioned for certain duration, test samples should be prepared prior to the assessment. Demonstration of the laboratory’s ability to condition samples to specified parameters will be required.
- Test demonstrations may be accomplished by using test specimens specifically prepared by the laboratory for this purpose, or the demonstration tests may be actual tests conducted for a client. If the demonstration tests are actual tests for clients, please complete the conditioning of the samples or sample preparation, as needed, prior to our review.
- All testing witnessed by the IAS assessors will be held in strict confidence.
- A sampling of project files will be reviewed for all tests that are to be demonstrated. Please have these available for review by the assessors.
