Accreditations

Micro Quality Calibration’s quality system meets or exceeds the requirements mandated by ISO/IEC 17025:2005. Our quality system includes and is not limited to equipment, calibration procedures, reporting and personnel. Our accreditation assures our clients of precision, accuracy and repeatability of results.

What is ISO/IEC 17025 and what does it mean? ISO/IEC 17025:2005 is designed to set policy and guidelines for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories.

ISO/IEC 17025 is an international standard that assesses the technical competency of calibration laboratories. ISO/IEC 17025 covers every aspect of laboratory management, ranging from testing proficiency to record keeping and reports. It goes several steps beyond an ISO 9001:2000 certification.

Why does our equipment need to be traceable to National Institute of Standards and Technology (“N.I.S.T.”)? NIST is a non-regulatory federal agency within the U.S. Commerce Department's Technology Administration whose mission is to develop and promote measurement, standards, and technology to enhance productivity, facilitate trade, and improve the quality of life.

• By being able to demonstrate an unbroken chain of traceability back to N.I.S.T. you are illustrating a valid calibration procedure that covers all aspects of the instrument under test.
