2 How fast do cars travel on average on Interstate Highways? Hint: Answer is not the posted speed limit. De-facto speed limit is what the police enforce.
3 How can end users know your instruments are tested properly according to ISO/IEC 17025, ANSI Z540.3, or even Z540-1? Hint: It s not just what a calibration lab claims. It s about what is enforced.
4 Calibration Modules Why Calibrate What is it? Calibration Adjustments Who can do it? Measurement Uncertainty How accurate? 4 Traceability Why important? Nov 13 Dec 13 Standards Compliance Dec 13 Jan 15 Feb13 Which ones? Accreditation Why it matters? Z540.3 Compliance 5 How? 7 6
5 1 Why Calibrate? YouTube calibration videos 1 Why Calibrate 2 Adjustments 3 Accuracy/Uncertainty 4 Traceability 5 Standards compliance 6 Accreditation 7 ANSI Z ½ min
6 1 Why Calibrate? What are your calibration service expectations? When you send an instrument for calibration to an outside lab, what do you expect them to do?
7 1 Why Calibrate? What is calibration? 1. Characterize your device/instrument Measure the actual performance! 2. How Accurate? Measurement Uncertainty 3. Pass or Fail? Statement of Conformance Accreditation is the confirmation of competence and skills according to ISO/IEC by a (3 rd party) accreditation body. 4. Advise client if found out-of-tolerance. Adjust, if instructed, and repeat calibration. Formal definition at:
8 1 Why Calibrate? Attn: Engineers! Identify the key specs for your company - and check how your instrument performed. REVIEW Remember: The measurement report is physical evidence of work performed!

10 Accreditation Why it matters, even if you don t order an Accredited Cal Ryan Fischer Laboratory Accreditation Bureau Chair, NCSLI 183 Accreditation Resources Committee Bob Stern Agilent Technologies, Inc. Co-chair, NCSLI 174 Standards Writing Committee NCSL INTERNATIONAL SERVING THE WORLD OF MEASUREMENT SINCE 1961
11 What is accreditation? Per ISO/IEC 17000:2004 it is a third-party attestation related to a conformity assessment body conveying formal demonstration of its competence to carry out specific conformity assessment tasks covering: technical competence of staff validity and appropriateness of test methods traceability of measurements and calibrations to national standards suitability, calibration and maintenance of test equipment testing environment sampling, handling and transportation of test items quality assurance of test and calibration data NCSL INTERNATIONAL SERVING THE WORLD OF MEASUREMENT SINCE Accreditation Committee
12 To which standards will you comply? ISO/IEC 17025: 2005 ISO/IEC Guide 98-3:2008 ILAC-G8 ILAC-P14 ANSI/NCSL Z rescinded 2007 General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories Guide for Expression of Uncertainty of Measurements Guidelines on Assessment and Reporting of Compliance with Specification Policy for Uncertainty in Calibration ANSI/NCSL Z ISO 9001:2008 Requirements for the calibration of Measuring and Test Equipment Quality management systems - requirements ILAC is the "International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation" - a network of mutual recognition arrangements among accreditation bodies. NCSL INTERNATIONAL SERVING THE WORLD OF MEASUREMENT SINCE Accreditation Committee
13 ILAC-MRA (Mutual recognition arrangement) Each accreditation body signatory to the Arrangement agrees to abide by its terms and conditions and by the ILAC evaluation procedures and shall: Maintain conformance with the current version of ISO/IEC 17011, related ILAC guidance documents, and a few, but important, supplementary requirements, and Ensure that all accredited laboratories comply with ISO/IEC or ISO (for medical testing laboratories) and related ILAC policy and guidance documents. Note: ILAC is the "International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation - a network of mutual recognition arrangements among accreditation bodies. NCSL INTERNATIONAL SERVING THE WORLD OF MEASUREMENT SINCE Accreditation Committee
14 Scope-of-accreditation How it works 1. The calibration lab tells the AB which parameters it seeks accreditation for 2. For each requested parameter the assessor then: i. Assess quality system ii. iii. iv. Spends time with the technicians assessing their competency/measurement technique to measure this particular parameter Assess the measurement uncertainty documentation Assess traceability path(s) to SI 1 units via a NMI 2 such as NIST, NPL, PTB, NMIJ, etc. 1. SI = International System of units 2. NMI = National institute of Metrology NCSL INTERNATIONAL SERVING THE WORLD OF MEASUREMENT SINCE Accreditation Committee

22 Checklist for non-accredited Cals 1 1. Review the scope of accreditation for your cal supplier 2. Check to see that the scope covers the specified parameters of your instrument(s). 3. For any parameters your instrument requires not covered in the scope, ask the cal lab what is the expanded uncertainty for those performance tests. Your risk of being out-of-specification after cal is lowest when the expanded uncertainty is known and is significantly smaller than the instrument spec. 1. Note: this checklist already performed with Accredited Cals. NCSL INTERNATIONAL SERVING THE WORLD OF MEASUREMENT SINCE Accreditation Committee

25 ILAC-G8, paragraph 2.3 (c) non-compliance NCSL INTERNATIONAL SERVING THE WORLD OF MEASUREMENT SINCE Accreditation Committee
26 ILAC-G8, par. 2.3 Non-compliance In Case 2 It is not possible to state compliance using a 95% coverage probability for the expanded uncertainty although the measurement result is below the limit. NCSL INTERNATIONAL SERVING THE WORLD OF MEASUREMENT SINCE Accreditation Committee
27 5 Standards Compliance Agilent Wording: ILAC-G8, Case 2 Agilent Cal + Uncertainties Passed : P The measured values of the equipment were in specification at the points tested with measurement uncertainty not taken into account. A portion of the expanded measurement uncertainty intervals centered about one or more measured values exceeded specification. Consequently, compliance with specification cannot be declared based on the stated coverage probability. ISO/IEC 17025, Paragraph ILAC-G8, Paragraph 2.3 ILAC-G8, Paragraph 3.2 Note: Wording reflects official standards text as closely as possible. P is P double-dagger
28 5 Standards Compliance Agilent Wording: ILAC-G8, Case 3 Agilent Cal + Uncertainties Failed : F One or more measured values of the equipment were out of specification at the points tested with measurement uncertainty not taken into account. A portion of the expanded measurement uncertainty intervals centered about one or more measured values were in specification. Consequently, non-compliance with specification cannot be declared based on the stated coverage probability.
