1. The CAS has neither authority to apply or interpret the rules set by ISO (International Organisation for Standardisation), IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission) and ILAC (International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation), or to force any laboratories to comply with those rules. The CAS is in no way a supervising authority for laboratories, being either IOC – ISO/IEC accredited or not. The CAS relies upon the accreditation process and is without authority to intervene and impose its views on the laboratory procedures to be applied by accredited labs. The absence of the “global uncertainty” in the A and B reports cannot, by any means, be considered as a gross violation of the ISO/IEC and ILAC guidelines, and therefore lead to arbitrary results and should consequently be corrected by the CAS Panel.
