Qualified Laboratories Sample Clauses
The "Qualified Laboratories" clause defines the standards and requirements that laboratories must meet to be recognized as acceptable for performing specific tests or analyses under the agreement. Typically, this clause specifies accreditation criteria, such as compliance with ISO standards or certification by relevant authorities, and may require periodic verification of a laboratory's qualifications. Its core practical function is to ensure that all testing is conducted by competent and reliable facilities, thereby safeguarding the accuracy and credibility of test results and minimizing disputes over data quality.
