Slide10Accreditation Specifics To Look For
Is the Calibration Lab You Use Accredited?
Is your Calibration Lab Accredited by an Official Body?
Is the Calibration that you are provided Accredited?
Slide1110 Commandments of Calibration Lab Selection
Thou Shalt Tour / Audit Their Facility
Thou Shalt Ask Management Questions
Thou Shalt Ask to See Training Records
Thou Shalt Request / Check References
Thou Shalt Request to See an Organization Chart
Thou Shalt Look at Their Published Uncertainties (Error)
Thou Shalt Have Lab Define Their Guaranteed Turnaround Time
Thou Shalt Determine if the Lab can also Repair / Replace Gages?
Thou Shalt Determine if the Calibration offered is Truly Accredited?
Thou Shalt Define How Easy is Certificate Retrieval / Customer Portal?
