Certificate Data for ISO:IEC 17025-2017 Accredited Calibration

Requirements

R. The measurement uncertainty of the results presented in the same units as that of the measurand or in a term relative to the measurand (%)

S. The results before and after any adjustment or repair, if available

T. Statement of conformity with requirements or specifications

Statements of Pass or Fail Conformance

The uncertainty of measurement has been taken into account when determining compliance with specification.

All measurements and test results guard banded to ensure the probability of false-accept does not exceed 2% in compliance with ANSI/NCSL Z540.3-2006

The status of compliance with the acceptance criteria is reported as:

PASS – Compliant with specification
FAIL – Not compliant with specification
FAIL(z) – The measured value is not within the acceptance limits. However, a portion of the expanded uncertainty of measurement at 95% is within the specified tolerance.
PASS(z) – The measured value is within acceptance limits. However, a portion of the expanded uncertainty of measurement at 95% exceeds the specified tolerance.

The expanded uncertainty of measurement is stated as the standard uncertainty of measurement multiplied by the coverage factor k = 2, which for a normal distribution corresponds to a coverage probability of approximately 95%, unless otherwise stated.

This calibration report complies with ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ANSI/NCSL Z540.3-2006, Method 6 — Guard Bands Based on Test Uncertainty Ratio.

Understanding the Scope of Accreditation

ISO/IEC 17025

Competence of test and calibration laboratories
Demonstrate requirements
- Able to operate a management system
- Are technically competent
- Able to generate technically valid results

ANSI/NCSL Z540.3

Technical requirements for calibration of M&TE
System for control of the accuracy of M&TE
- Calibration System performance requirements
- Calibration laboratory performance requirements
- Link to use of 17025 accredited Cal labs

Expanded Uncertainties of Measurement must include all factors that will affect the measurements. Sample factors for an Industrial Scale:

Uncertainty of the calibration of standards
Possible Drift since the last calibration
Resolution of the unit under test

Correction of Air Buoyancy
Rounding error no load
Round error indicated load

Repeatability
Environmental factors
