A useful enquiry explains the question you need the laboratory to answer. Complete this original checklist, copy the brief and review it before sending it to a provider. It does not confirm accreditation, choose a test method or appoint a laboratory.
Prepare your laboratory brief
Fields are used only to compose your brief in this page. They are not sent to the website or saved by this tool.
Open the contact page and paste your reviewed brief. Nothing is sent until you submit that form.
Before appointing a provider
Ask the provider to confirm the applicable method, capability, relevant accreditation scope, sample requirements, limitations, subcontracting and what will appear in the report. Ask which work is within its accredited scope and which is not.
Do not include payment-card details, confidential standard text, passwords or sensitive personal data in an initial enquiry. Agree a suitable channel before sharing restricted project material.
Keep the quotation and agreed scope with your reference register. A completed checklist is a preparation record, not evidence that any testing or assessment has taken place.
