Proficiency Testing in Food Safety
We are working on certification to FSSC 22000 Version 5.1 and are on the LGC BAPS ANALYTICAL Proficiency scheme as Delta Beverages ( Belmont Plant Lagers) Bulawayo, Zimbabwe. Where can we get the accreditation information documentation for ISO17025 for LGC as part of fulfilling the requirements for 'Management of Services' in the FSSC standard?

Thank you for your question Liwayway.
The only requirement of ISO/IEC 17025 is that each laboratory would need to independently participate in the PT scheme. Whether it is possible to share a sample with another laboratory within the same company group would of course only be possible if the nature and lot size of the sample enables this. It will also depend on the policy of the PT provider, although in most cases, including with LGC AXIO, a second participation would need to be paid for. With regards to certificates, participants in AXIO PT schemes can download a certificate of participation from our on-line PORTAL system.
I hope this helpful.
