CALIBRATION CERTIFICATES :
ISO/IEC 17025:2005
Traceability:
What is traceability?
Competent transfer of traceability
from a Standard to the device under
test.
•
CALIBRATION CERTIFICATES :
ISO/IEC 17025:2005
Traceability:
How do you evaluate traceability?
•
•
Was a recognized method used to
perform the calibration?
Was the calibration performed by an
individual who has been trained and
found competent to perform the
calibration?
CALIBRATION CERTIFICATES :
ISO/IEC 17025:2005
Traceability:
How do you evaluate traceability?
Was the ‘standard’ used in the
calibration traceable through an
unbroken chain of calibrations to the SI
system of units?
•
•
Has the uncertainty of measurement
been estimated, and stated on the
certificate?
CALIBRATION CERTIFICATES :
ISO/IEC 17025:2005
Purpose:
The purpose a calibration certificate is
to provide pertinent information to the
user about:
The identity and information about
the laboratory performing the
Calibration (Name, and Address and
the location where the calibration was
carried out)
•
CALIBRATION CERTIFICATES :
ISO/IEC 17025:2005
Purpose:
Identification of the method used to
perform the calibration (Own method,
International Standard, Manufacturers
recommended procedure)
•
•
Identification of the device calibrated
•
The measurement results,
CALIBRATION CERTIFICATES :
ISO/IEC 17025:2005
Purpose:
Identification and signature of
persons authorizing the certificate,
•
•
(If requested) a statement that the
complies with specification.
The environmental conditions,
•
•
The uncertainty of measurement,
•
Evidence of the traceability.
CALIBRATION CERTIFICATES :
ISO/IEC 17025:2005
What to look for:
If the certificate does not include the
SANAS logo (or a statement that the
laboratory is accredited by SANAS)
along with the accreditation number of
the laboratory then the certificate
•
has not been issued in terms
of their accreditation.

Contract Review:
How do you choose a Calibration Service provider:

Are they accredited?

Are they accredited for the specific
measurements and applicable range?

Is the Laboratories Measurement Capability
(BMC) satisfactory for your purposes?

Are you discussing YOUR requirements with
the laboratory or are they telling you what
YOU want?
