ISO 17025 clause 6.4 covers requirements for Equipment; where the requirement is that equipment should be suitable, maintained and monitored to ensure a laboratory produces consistently valid results. It is important to know what is required of specific equipment to ensure suitable performance. In all cases mandatory specifications, regulations or guidelines should be followed; if applicable for your sector.

The document you refer to, is an Annex of the document “Qualification of Equipment”, published for European Union (EU) Official medicines control laboratories (OMCL). Such laboratories support quality control regulations for medicinal products.
I cannot tell by your question which sector your laboratory supports and whether the document your refer to is prescribed as mandatory by a regulatory body or your accreditation body; or just a guideline you are using to meet ISO 17025 requirements. Either way, if you have assessed your processes thoroughly against ISO 17025 requirements as well as the OMCL Annex, and there are no gaps; then surely you are meeting requirements ?
