This document was produced by a joint EURACHEM/EA Working Group. It supplements ISO/IEC 17025 and provides specific guidance on the accreditation of laboratories performing microbiological testing, for both assessors and laboratories preparing for accreditation.

Note: This version of the Guide was additionally adopted by EA as EA 4/10 G (2002) (see http://www.european-accreditation.org/publications). Eurachem currently* understands that in the light of the publication of the second edition of the Eurachem guidance and consequent withdrawal of this first edition, withdrawal of EA 4/10 G (2002) is expected to be considered at the EA General Assembly in May 2014.
*as at 01 January 2014
