R & D Program Objectives
WARFARE CENTERS CORONA
• Develop Calibration standards not available commercially or from the other Services.
• Development of national calibration standards used by National Institute of Standards and Technology, and primary calibration standards used by the Navy Primary Standards Lab.
• Develop working level standards and improved METCAL processes.

Transition to ISO/IEC 17025:2005
WARFARE CENTERS CORONA
• ISO/IEC 17025 – “General Requirements for Competence of Testing and Calibration Labs” – International Standard for Laboratory Accreditation/Certification • • Benefits: – Current, internationally-recognized/utilized standard • Navy lab certification now based on ANSI/NCSL Z540.1-1994 (cancelled in 2007) and Navy Guides – Enables alignment with • New NAVSEA Testing Lab Certification Rqmts (NAVSEAINST 4855.31A, May 2008) • International Testing/Calibration Community • Air Force/Army Calibration Programs – Provides basis for centralizing Navy Calibration Program (common standard)

Transition to ISO/IEC 17025:2005
WARFARE CENTERS CORONA
– Improves accuracy of Navy calibrations • Statistically based calibration data and measurement results • Measurement uncertainty documented • Reduces measurement decision risk (better test data to Navy Program Mgrs) • Risk of Not Transitioning to 17025 – Technical adequacy of calibration results limited (higher risk of incorrect test decisions) – Isolates Navy Cal Program from Army/AF, Industry, and International Cal Community – Navy Calibration labs not compliant with NAVSEA Testing Lab rqmts (4855.31A)
