K ALPHA XRF Calibration Laboratory Earns ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditation
Schaumburg, IL (September 5, 2009) — K ALPHA is proud to announce their XRF Calibration Laboratory in the Chicago suburbs has recently received ISO/IEC 17025 and ANSI Z540-1 Accreditation.
ISO/IEC 17025 standards, set by the International Organization for Standardization, specify requirements for a company's ability to competently carry out equipment calibrations.
In order to become ISO/IEC 17025 accredited, a company's lab must meet both management requirements — related to the operation and effectiveness of the lab's quality management system — and technical requirements that address the quality of staff and the actual calibration equipment reporting.
While there are many accreditation bodies in the world, ISO/IEC 17025 standards are the strictest in the industry. So organizations that want to be ready to meet any new customer contract requirements choose to get their coating thickness measurement equipment and coating thickness standards certified with an ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited Lab like K ALPHA's.
