FLEXIBLE SCOPE - GEEL SITE

This is a flexible scope: in the framework of its accreditation, the laboratory is authorized to determine all analytes belonging to the group of analytes mentioned in the first column for all matrices belonging to the group of matrices mentioned in the second column.

This authorization is given, provided that an appropriate validation is performed according to the general validation concept as set out in the laboratory’s quality system. The laboratory keeps a detailed list of the analytes and matrices, belonging to the above

mentioned groups, up-to-date for anyone involved.

(*) Testing is performed in the context of reference material production rather than on routine samples. Measurement uncertainties of the results are reflected in the certified uncertainties and studies can be adapted to achieve the target uncertainty of certified

values for a given measurement uncertainty.
