IET Labs has received accreditation as a calibration laboratory under ISO/IEC17025-1999. Assessment and accreditation were performed by The American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA), one of only two internationally recognised accreditation organisations in the USA. Calibrations performed under IET's scope of accreditation will now be reported on certificates of calibration which include IET's certificate of accreditation number 2073.01.
IET's accreditation became effective on 10th February 2004 and is valid until 30th April 2006.
For many years, IET Labs has operated in compliance with applicable calibration standards such as MIL-STD-45662A and ANSI/NCSL-Z540-1-1994, the latter being the basic requirement for cal lab accreditation under ISO/IEC17025.
A2LA adds additional requirements that candidate labs must meet in order to receive accreditation.
IET's accreditation formalises and strengthens its already unique capabilities in the metrology field.
Its extensive line of standards, decades, and test equipment - including those formerly manufactured by GenRad - have been used as reference and working standards by cal labs and businesses around the world for many years.
With accreditation, IET has added to its main operating goal of total customer satisfaction, an additional level of customer confidence.
