Ensuring that equipment used in your production process is calibrated will reduce the risk of costly mistakes and faulty final products.
Many businesses also now require their suppliers to operate strict quality management systems, and to comply with the ISO9000 series of standards. Part of this accreditation may involve demonstrating the traceability of your inspection and measuring equipment. Using a UKAS accredited laboratory will help you do this.
UKAS is the only accreditation body recognised by the government for the assessment of calibration laboratories. Using a UKAS accredited laboratory gives you the peace of mind of knowing that the laboratory is regularly rigorously assessed against international standards.
Your customers may even demand that you use calibration suppliers that have been accredited by UKAS.
Devon Metrology Laboratory has been accredited by UKAS to ISO17025 for mass calibration since 1999. This accreditation relates to our quality management system and our technical competence. All of our mass and length standards are traceable to the National Standards, either by testing at UKAS laboratories or at the National Weights and Measures Laboratory.
Further details of the benefits of using accredited laboratories are available from UKAS.
