1 When the date, revision or edition of a test method standard is not identified on the scope of 

accreditation, the laboratory is required to be using the current version within one year of the date of 

publication, per part C., Section 1 of A2LA R101 - General Requirements- Accreditation of ISO-IEC 

17025 Laboratories. If a specifier/regulator imposes a different transition period, this will supersede the 

A2LA one-year implementation period. 

2 Accreditation includes all final published versions of this method.

On the following types of products: Aerospace, Military, Medical and IT Equipment
For the tests to which this accreditation applies, please refer to the laboratory’s Mechanical Scope of Accreditation.
