What this lab is accredited for
Our reading of the A2LA scope: each standard once, with its official name where we have checked it.
Only this lab. Searches the 2 standard numbers and the 2 official names we hold. When no standard matches, it searches the method text of every scope line.

1 This laboratory offers commercial dimensional testing, calibration service, and field calibration service.
2 Calibration and Measurement Capability Uncertainty (CMC) is the smallest uncertainty of measurement
that a laboratory can achieve within its scope of accreditation when performing more or less routine
calibrations of nearly ideal measurement standards or nearly ideal measuring equipment. CMCs represent
expanded uncertainties expressed at approximately the 95 % level of confidence, usually using a coverage
factor of k = 2. The actual measurement uncertainty of a specific calibration performed by the laboratory
may be greater than the CMC due to the behavior of the customer’s device and to influences from the
circumstances of the specific calibration.
3 Field calibration service is available for this calibration. Please note the actual measurement uncertainties
achievable on a customer's site can normally be expected to be larger than the CMC found on the A2LA
Scope. Allowance must be made for aspects such as the environment at the place of calibration and for
other possible adverse effects such as those caused by transportation of the calibration equipment. The
usual allowance for the actual uncertainty introduced by the item being calibrated, (e.g., resolution) must
also be considered and this, on its own, could result in the actual measurement uncertainty achievable on
a customer’s site being larger than the CMC.
4 In the statement of CMC, A is the displayed flatness reading in µrad, and M is the nominal length of the
diagonal measured in meters.
5 Unlimited measurement range is possible with software stitching.
