Vision Engineering, a 61 year old British leading designer and manufacturer of high-quality visual measurement and inspection technologies, has attained ISO 17025:2017 accreditation from UKAS and is now a UKAS accredited calibration laboratory No. 7706.
The fee-based program will certify an applying organization’s occupational safety and health products and services based on recognized voluntary national and international consensus standards.
Hitachi High-Tech Analytical Science Americas, Inc. announces that its calibration laboratory received the acclaimed American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) for their Optical Emission Spectroscopy (OES) product line.
Calibration laboratories that receive the A2LA accreditation are held to the highest standards published by the Organization for Standardization (ISO) meaning that they meet requirements for competence of testing and calibration laboratories covered under ISO 17025.
The ISO certification auditing process can be daunting, especially if the auditor is going to be evaluating your company’s gage management processes based on data housed in your Excel spreadsheets or hand-written documents and note cards stuffed in three-ring binders.
The achievement of A2LA accreditation demonstrates an organization’s competence to manage and perform the activities defined by its Scope of Accreditation (A2LA Certificate # 4174.01).
The term ‘proficiency testing’ is one that every accredited calibration laboratory is quite familiar with. In basic terms it refers to a method of evaluating how well a laboratory is doing a particular calibration with respect to its claimed measurement uncertainty and how it fares with other participants.
Spires succeeds Peter Unger, who served as A2LA’s president and CEO for 20 years and continues to support the association in his position as president emeritus.
