|
| |
Your choices are...
|
|
|
| |
ISO / IEC 17025
|
|
ISO 17025 addresses the proficiency of the organization to perform the testing and calibration activities. It is a standard geared towards technical qualification and deals heavily with measurement uncertainties. This is layered on top of an ISO 9000 certification, which is a standard, used for total company quality system.
The 17025 standard requires that all functions within the scope of a given instrument must be tested and calibrated. Example: A Digital Multimeter would require a lab to have a scope that contained ALL of the functions that the meter can measure (AC volts, DC volts, Freq., Resistance, AC current, DC current, etc.) Only service providers that list all functions within the necessary scope can provide 17025 calibration for a given instrument.
Note: 17025 replaced ISO Guide 25.
|
| |
ANSI / NCSL Z540-1
|
|
Formerly MIL-STD 45662A, American National Standard ANSI / NCSL Z540-1 is a requirements document titled "Calibration Laboratories and Measuring and Test Equipment - General Requirements."
This is a standard that is used primarily by government community. It is very close to the 17025 standard.
|
| |
A2LA
|
|
A2LA is the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation.
A2LA accreditation is defined as formal recognition of an organization's technical competency to perform specific tests, types of tests, or calibrations.
The general requirements for laboratory accreditation are contained in ISO / IEC 17025. This standard contains quality system requirements and technical requirements that the laboratories must meet. Laboratory accreditation requirements, however, go beyond just ISO / IEC 17025.

In 1987, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9000 standards were developed to ensure that companies' products and services have consistent, documented approaches that meet the European community's quality requirements.
ISO 9001 sets out the requirements for an organization whose business processes range all the way from design and development, to production, installation and servicing.
|
| |
ISO 9002
|
|
In 1987, the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9000 standards were developed to ensure that companies' products and services have consistent, documented approaches that meet the European community's quality requirements.
ISO 9002 is for an organization, which does not carry out design and development. It does not include the design control requirements of ISO 9001 - otherwise, its requirements are identical.
