Kate, We are a test lab as well as a regular client at many different labs around the world and we never use test labs that don't allow us to attend the testing. We always provide technical support during testing which in my opinion benefits all involved. The same applies when we do the testing, if only the client representative is competent we prefer to get immediate support instead of endless discussions via email (or late night phone calls).

I'd like to know a) Do they allow presence in lab (technical area) itself ? If not, then where are clients who are at the lab normally placed? b) Are engineering/design type tests handled differently than compliance in this respect? c) What about formal witnessing of tests? d) How you feel about the policies that are in use? Do they influence your choice of labs? f) Have any related polices recently changed in the labs you use? How do you feel about this, and is it an influencer? e) Any other comments about this? Huge thanks in advance for your input! (Labs are welcome to comment, too!) Kate Kathy M.
