Where reference materials or reference measurement procedures of higher metrological order are relevant for more than one EU reference laboratory, the relevant EU reference laboratories’ network or sub-network shall coordinate the review and agree on common recommendations. 3. The EU reference laboratories shall update the recommendations when new reference materials or new reference measurement procedures of higher metrological order become available. 4. Where the EU reference laboratories recommend reference materials or reference measurement procedures of higher metrological order that diverge from relevant standards, the EU reference laboratories shall state the reasons for that divergence in their recommendations.
