Hi Derek, I fully agree with your sentiments. The deficiency was objected to the accreditation body but it was quicker to satisfy the auditor's whims rather than engage in an elongated discussion about the rights and wrongs...... Mea culpa - I never did follow up with the accreditation body - simply because there were more pressing things to take care of and the problem was fixed; well, until the next audit! <http://mail.yimg.com/a/i/mesg/tsmileys2/01.gif> . Regards, Harry

It should never have been a deficiency... I am greatly opposed to this nonsense. I do wish more labs would make instances like this known to their assessing bodies.. Cheers, Derek.

Several years ago I had a similar issue: The table height was measured by (a well-respected) auditor and deemed to be 79.5cm, not 80cm. Several discussions followed regarding the accuracy/traceability of the auditor’s tape measure, validity of the deficiency etc. Initially I rejected the deficiency but after time just added a 0.5cm board to the table. When in business to make money it’s often easier and quicker to fix the perceived problem than to argue against it.
