Subcontracted Tests
When tests are subcontracted, whether because of unforeseen reasons (e.g. workload, need for further expertise or temporary incapacity) or on a continuing basis (e.g. through permanent subcontracting or agency arrangements), this work shall be placed with a competent subcontractor. A competent subcontractor is one that complies with the AAVLD Requirements or ISO 17025 for the work in question.
