We have covered the outsourcing of SQM auditing by the LSC here – and in the webinar – on a number of occasions. I Did so last Friday again.
We have had a number of slightly panicky calls however from people telling us that we have got the deadlines wrong and that you have to have an audit by Sept/Oct this year.
It transpires that the SQMDP – who are NOT the LSC but an external accreditation body – are telemarketing their services and that their audit discount offer ENDS in Sept/October this year. This is NOT a deadline.
We have no reason to believe that this is anything more than a simple misunderstanding however as suggested in the course last week – you should only apply for an audit at a time of your choosing.
