Question 1 of 30
Precision Analytics, a testing laboratory accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017, uses \"Calibratech,\" an external company, for the calibration of its critical testing equipment. During an internal audit, it was discovered that Precision Analytics had not thoroughly verified Calibratech\'s traceability to recognized national or international standards. The lab manager, Anya Sharma, now needs to address this potential non-conformity. Considering the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2017 regarding measurement traceability, which of the following actions should Anya prioritize to ensure the validity of Precision Analytics\' testing results and maintain compliance with the standard? This is not about getting a cheaper calibration service. It\'s about the integrity of the measurement.
Verify Calibratech's traceability to recognized standards by reviewing their accreditation status, calibration certificates, and conducting periodic audits of their facilities and procedures.
Immediately switch to a different calibration provider with lower prices, assuming that all accredited providers have equal traceability.
Rely solely on Calibratech's claims of traceability, as they are a reputable company, and focus on other aspects of the laboratory's quality management system.
Recalibrate all equipment in-house, regardless of the availability of qualified personnel or appropriate calibration standards, to eliminate reliance on external providers.
