ILAC Resolution GA 8.12

The General Assembly resolves that accreditation of technically competent bodies producing reference materials with assigned values will be conducted against harmonized criteria based on ISO Guide 34 and ISO/IEC 17025 in combination.

It is INAB policy to assess reference material producers against ISO Guide 34 and ISO/IEC 17025 in combination.
