- ILAC G3:1994 Guidelines for Training Courses for Assessors
These guidelines have been prepared to assist laboratory accreditation bodies to set up training courses that are in line with international practice and which will enable them to generate the lead assessors and technical assessors that they need.
- ILAC G7:1996 Accreditation Requirements and Operating Criteria for Horseracing Laboratories
The purpose of this document is to provide: Part A: A compilation of test-method-related requirements for horseracing laboratories that accreditation bodies have submitted. Part B: Recommendations for establishing the presence of prohibited substances that have been agreed within the horseracing industry. Part C: The performance specification for horseracing laboratories that has been adopted by the International Federation of Horseracing Authorities.
- ILAC G8:1996 Guidelines on Assessment and Reporting of Compliance with Specification
This guideline provides rules for suppliers and client concerning the assessment and reporting of compliance or non-compliance for a single unit of product using an agreed test method. Legal requirements supersede any agreement.
- ILAC G9:2005 Guidelines for the Selection and Use of Reference Materials
These guidelines aim at establishing the framework by which laboratories seeking accreditation, and technical assessors, will be able to propose and evaluate the CRMs relevant to their specific needs.
- ILAC G10:1996 Harmonised Procedures for Surveillance & Reassessment of Accredited Laboratories
These guidelines provide a procedure for a harmonised approach to conducting surveillance and reassessment of accredited laboratories.
- ILAC G11:07/2006 ILAC Guidelines on Qualifications & Competence of Assessors and Technical Experts
This document interprets and amplifies ISO/IEC 17011 requirements for an adequate procedure for qualifying and monitoring the performance of assessors and describes criteria for lead assessors and technical assessors.
- ILAC G12:2000 Guidelines for the Requirements for the Competence of Reference Materials Producers
These Guidelines have been developed for evaluation of the competence of reference materials producers with a view to the eventual establishment of internationally accepted criteria.
NOTE: This document is intended as a guide to ISO Guide 34. Where ILAC G12 diverges from ISO Guide 34, the text of ISO Guide 34 is binding.
- ILAC G13:08/2007 Guidelines for the Requirements for the Competence of Providers of Proficiency Testing Schemes
This document is for providers of proficiency testing schemes who wish to demonstrate their competence by formal compliance with a set of internationally-acceptable requirements for the planning and implementation of proficiency testing schemes.
- ILAC G17:2002 Introducing the Concept of Uncertainty of Measurement in Testing in Association with the Application of the Standard ISO/IEC 17025
This document describes how the concept of uncertainty of measurement should be introduced taking into account present state of the art understanding. It is realised that during the course of the implementation of ISO/IEC 17025, suitable sector-specific guidance will be needed. However, the harmonisation of the application of the principles of uncertainty of measurement in testing between different disciplines, industry sectors and economies should remain the main goal.
- ILAC G18:2002 The Scope of Accreditation and Consideration of Methods and Criteria for the Assessment of the Scope in Testing
The purpose of this publication is to provide information on how to define the scope of accreditation and to identify some criteria and ways of assessing the scope in order to provide practical guidance for an effective and harmonised application of the relevant international Standards. The major parts concern the implementation of the state of practice of describing the scope for laboratories accredited to modify methods or design new methods as foreseen in ISO/IEC 17025, § 1.6, 5.4.3 and 5.4.4.
- ILAC G19:2002 Guidelines for Forensic Science Laboratories
This document is intended to provide guidance for laboratories involved in forensic analysis and examination by providing application of ISO/IEC 17025.
- ILAC G20:2002 Guidelines on Grading of Non-conformities
This document outlines one approach to grading non-conformities, from more to less serious, through linking the seriousness of the nonconformity with the actions that the accreditation body may need to take. Some examples of the various gradings are listed.

- ILAC G22:2004 Use of Proficiency Testing as a Tool for Accreditation in Testing
The objective of this document is to ensure a consistent good practice for Accreditation Bodies and laboratories in the cost-effective use of proficiency testing in accreditation.
- ILAC G23:2004 ILAC Evaluator Training Courses
This document has been withdrawn.
- ILAC G24:2007 Guidelines for the determination of calibration intervals of measuring instruments
The purpose of this document is to give laboratories, particularly while setting up their calibration system, guidance on how to determine calibration intervals. This document identifies and describes the methods that are available and known for the evaluation of calibration intervals.
