National Test Equipment Earns ISO 17025 Accreditation

San Diego -- Free-Press-Release.com-- Apr 22, 2011 -- National Test Equipment has recently been accredited by A2LA as being an ISO 17025, Z540-1, and Z540.3 compliant calibration lab. The official certification (cert no. 3159.01) was received by National Test Equipment on April 19th, 2011.

The scope of the accreditation includes Electrical – AC Current, AC Voltage, DC Current, DC Voltage, and DC Resistance. A2LA auditor Klaus Jaeger performed the audit on Mar. 22nd 2011 and had these comments regarding the scope of the accreditation:

“The review of all the checklists progressed very rapidly thanks to the in depth and succinct documentation that makes up the management system. Ms. Anna Escarcega, Mr. Brian Valenti and Mr. Steve Clifton were able to answer any open questions and provide outstanding documentation. My congratulations to the management for providing the resources to establish a first class management system that meets all the requirements as dictated by the ISP and ANSI standards as well as the additional A2LA documents.”

Jaeger went on to note:

“On the technical side, the laboratory chose, at this time, to list only DCV, DCI, R, ACV, ACI parameters even though their capabilities go way beyond that.

…Considerable time was spent on the uncertainty budgets, mainly with Brian. Only minor corrections were required as the overall process is well in hand as both Brian and Steve understood the requirements and mathematics. It should be very easy for the laboratory to add parameters in the future.”
