Q6. What is a calibration certificate?

 The torque certificate means that a torque wrench or torque measurement device meets the standards for accuracy and performance requested by the customer or published by the manufacturer.  Torque certification is important in industries where precise torque application is critical, such as automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and construction.  Our US laboratories are accredited to ISO 17025 and use the same procedures certified to ISO 9001.

Q7. What is a non-accredited calibration certificate?

 A non-accredited torque certificate assures users that the torque wrench or torque measurement device meets recognized standards for accuracy and reliability. This can be essential for ensuring the quality of workmanship, safety, and compliance with industry regulations.  A non-accredited calibration follows the same process as an accredited service but does not include an ISO certification stamp or a statement of measurement uncertainty.

Q8. What is an ISO 17025-accredited calibration certificate?

 An ISO-accredited torque certificate assures users that the torque wrench or torque measurement device meets recognized standards for accuracy and reliability.
