4.6Infrastructure Organizations (6.0)

To maximize EMG‟s businesses ability to develop and deliver high quality products and services, certain infrastructure organizations are in place to deliver internal support services. EMG collectively refers to these as infrastructure organizations. These organisations are managed at the Agilent Level and are not subject to EMG Internal audit (findings will be reported if found during an audit trail) or external audit, but are audited at the Agilent Level to ensure conformance to ISO 9001:2008.
