Was it a kind of "trusted trader" thing? The accreditation body decided to trust the laboratory because it had dealt with it for years. I am trying to get to it. It is either technical or it is not. If the accreditation body is going to accredit a company - historically, retrospectively or otherwise - why would it do it in this way? Would it do so on the basis of corporate knowledge, for example if it had dealt with the laboratory for 12 years? Why would it take this approach to a private company?
