This document replaces CAN-P-1578.

This document is designed to apply to all types of forensic objective testing and therefore needs to be interpreted in respect of the type of calibration and testing concerned and the techniques involved. It provides an amplification of those requirements in ISO/IEC 17025:2017 that need interpretation when applied in laboratories carrying out forensic analysis and examination. The technical base of this document is drawn from published principles, as well as practices and procedures promoted by national and international organizations.
