Amund, and everyone I cannot see anything in ISO/IEC 17025 that specifically prevents the use of the laboratory equipment by outside parties, but in the section dealing with "equipment", 5.5.9 states:
"When, for whatever reason, equipment goes outside the direct control of the laboratory, the laboratory shall ensure that the function and calibration status of the equipment are checked and shown to be satisfactory before the equipment is returned to service." The laboratory may feel that the overheads involved in this process are too onerous to justify letting you use the equipment yourself.
