Significance and Use4.1 The testing of hydraulic cement
20、is an important elementin obtaining quality construction. A testing laboratory must beselected with care.4.2 A testing laboratory shall be deemed qualified to per-form and report the results of its tests if the laboratory meetsthe requirements of this practice.4.3 This practice provides guidance for
21、 evaluating theorganization, personnel, facilities, and quality systems of thelaboratory. This practice may be supplemented by criteria andrequirements for particular projects.5. Documentation of Organization5.1 The following information shall be readily available forreview:5.1.1 A description of th

23、 services offered.6. Human Resources6.1 The manager of the laboratory shall be a chemist,materials analyst, or an engineer and a full-time employee ofthe organization having at least three years supervisory expe-rience in the testing of hydraulic cement; however, a personwith equivalent science-orie
24、nted education or experience hav-ing satisfactorily directed testing of hydraulic cement is ac-ceptable.7. Testing and Additional Requirements7.1 Testing RequirementsThe organization shall have thecapability of performing tests associated with its range ofservices (see Note 2). The laboratory shall
25、have the facilitiesand equipment required for preparing, storing, conditioning,and testing specimens.NOTE 2The range of services of a testing laboratory may involveeither chemical testing or physical testing, or both.

Subcontracting8.1 Subcontracting for the performance of part or all of atest method is permitted. When subcontracting is used thequality of the work provided must be ensured.
37、The require-ments for evaluation differ depending on the permanence of thesubcontracting.8.2 Permanent SubcontractingWhen all or a portion of atest method is subcontracted on a permanent basis then thesubcontracted organization must be subjected to separateevaluation according to this practice for t
38、he methods subcon-tracted. The laboratory shall retain a copy of this evaluation forreview by the evaluation authority.8.3 Temporary SubcontractingWhen all or a portion of atest method is subcontracted on a temporary basis then thelaboratory shall ensure the quality of the subcontracted work.The lev
39、el and type of assurance will depend on the extent of thesubcontracting (see Note 3). The laboratory shall retain recordsof this assurance for review by the evaluation authority.NOTE 3Some examples of assurance for different levels of temporarysubcontracting are: (1) a review of calibrations records
40、 when the use of apiece of equipment is subcontracted; and (2) a satisfactory rating on aproficiency sample when a method is subcontracted. Other means ofassurance are test results from a standard reference material or, in the caseof chemical testing records of qualification testing.9. Quality Syste
