ABSTRACT
particular standard, it is important to be clear to what this compliance, certification, or accreditation applies. The formal statement of the activities which have been certified against ISO 9001, or accredited against ISO 17025 is known as the ‘‘scope.’’ ISO 9000 and GLP require only a brief description of the activities covered, but with ISO=IEC 17025, a detailed description of the specific work covered by the accreditation is usually required.
