I have frequently worked with 3rd party test labs and certifiers on behalf of my clients. Occasionally, because of propriety or non-disclosure concerns, they want to see an agent agreement or release form, but this is rare.
About half the time, when working with a client, my client's I.T. department will set up a temporary email account for my use which allows me to communicate with other vendors on the company's behalf. This puts all email conversations on their servers and works very well. In any case, I always copy the responsible engineer at the client company to keep them in the loop.
