Clarification on Laboratory Evaluation Requirements (IATF 16949)

IATF 16949
In the context of IATF 16949 requirements, is a formal evaluation of external calibration and testing laboratories required in addition to verifying ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation? If yes, then the applicable evaluation criteria for labs may differ from those used for raw material suppliers and may impact the supplier’s overall performance rating.

If the external laboratory is already accredited for ISO 17025, there is no need for further formalization on your organization's end.
