As long as the data you gather is not used in a test report to show
compliance, it is between you
and the lab (and their lawyers) as to what you can and cannot do. It has
nothing to do with accreditation.

testing ourselves

Hi all,
An EMC test lab is accredited according to ISO/IEC 17025. They are also
accredited for many tests as the IEC61000-4-series, EN55022 and many other.
We have previously done some EMC pre-testing in this lab and we have
operated the test equipment ourselves. Now, they won't let us do that with
reference to their accreditation status. The test lab personnel have to
operate the test equipment. Does it make sense, is there any restriction in
the accreditation ?
We have always made a clear cut between pre-testing and accredited testing.
Best regards
Amund Westin
