\"EnTech Solutions,\" an ISO 50001 certified organization, operates a testing laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017. A critical piece of equipment, a large industrial chiller, is used to maintain stable temperature conditions essential for accurate testing. During an internal review, concerns arise regarding the chiller\'s energy performance and its potential impact on the uncertainty of test results. The laboratory manager, Anya Sharma, discovers that the chiller\'s energy performance has not been formally verified since its installation five years ago. Manufacturer specifications are available, and the facility has conducted general energy audits as part of its ISO 50001 program, but no specific, traceable verification of the chiller\'s energy consumption and its impact on the lab\'s environmental conditions has been performed. Given the requirements of both ISO 50001 and ISO/IEC 17025, what is the MOST appropriate course of action for Anya to take to ensure the validity of the laboratory\'s test results and maintain compliance with both standards?
Engage an accredited calibration service to perform a traceable energy performance verification of the chiller, including a measurement uncertainty analysis, and document the results according to ISO/IEC 17025 requirements.
Rely on the manufacturer's specifications for the chiller's energy performance and document this information in the laboratory's quality management system.
Include the chiller's energy performance verification as part of the next scheduled ISO 50001 internal audit, delaying any immediate action.
Conduct an internal energy audit of the chiller, focusing on energy consumption metrics, and document the findings in a report for internal use only.
