A small number of laboratory tests will be performed out of the scope of accreditation. These may be new services that are not yet fully accredited by UKAS but have undergone validation within the laboratory and are subject to ongoing internal quality control. There may also be instances where an accredited test is performed outside the scope of accreditation.
