CHICAGO-Electronics distributor Newark, part of the global Premier Farnell Group, has announced that its metrology labs now meet ISO/IEC 17025: 2005. This accreditation assures the quality of the company’s precision calibration services, processes, technicians and data accuracy.

Newark’s capabilities include electronic, physical and dimension calibration for a range of test equipment and measurement instruments to the 9001: 2000, ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994 and 17025 standards.

“We’re proud that Newark is the only national electronics distributor to provide in-house calibration services,” says Chris Binion, vice president of distribution. “And we’re even more proud that our labs have earned the highest accreditation.
