ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditation, Licenses & Site Safety Credentials

ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation means a laboratory’s technical competence has been independently assessed for the calibration work defined in its accredited scope. Our ANAB accreditation, certificate AC-1268, covers scale and balance calibration within our published scope.

You can review our accreditation certificate and scope to see the equipment categories and measurement capabilities covered, and check them against your calibration requirements.

How ANAB accredits calibration laboratories

Yes. Our ANAB scope includes accredited on-site calibration for the listed scale and balance categories. The work must fall within that scope, and conditions at your facility can affect measurement uncertainty.

Send us your scale’s model, capacity, resolution, location, and required tolerances so we can review your calibration requirements with you before the visit.

No. Traceability and accreditation address different parts of calibration quality. Metrological traceability connects a measurement result to a specified reference through a documented, unbroken chain of calibrations, with measurement uncertainty accounted for at each step. ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation independently assesses a laboratory’s competence for the work in its scope.

When you arrange calibration with us, let us know if your quality program requires an accredited report, specific traceability documentation, or defined measurement tolerances.

NIST’s explanation of metrological traceability

ANSI/NCSL Z540-1 is a legacy calibration standard that may still appear in your purchasing specifications or quality program. It addresses calibration laboratories and measuring and test equipment. Our ANAB certificate references both ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994 (R2002).

If your requirements call for Z540-1, tell us the specified edition and reporting requirements when you request calibration service.

Our WingScan-T 3D-M holds active NTEP Certificate of Conformance 26-001P for in-motion volume measurement. NTEP evaluates commercial weighing and measuring device types against applicable requirements in NIST Handbook 44.

Our WingScan-T certificate is provisional because the evaluation used draft NCWM procedures for this device type. You can review our WingScan-T NTEP certificate for the evaluated model, configuration, application, and operating conditions.

How NCWM evaluates NTEP devices

Yes, for applications within the conditions of our WingScan-T NTEP certificate, subject to the weights-and-measures requirements where you operate. We can review your material, system configuration, and operating conditions with you before installation.

Your installed commercial system must also meet applicable inspection and verification requirements. NTEP type evaluation and verification of your installed system are separate steps.

NCWM guidance on evaluating and verifying measuring devices

Yes. Our WSI-9000, WSI-9000X, and WSI-9000XS digital electronic scale indicators are covered by active NTEP Certificate of Conformance 09-030A1. These indicators display your scale’s weight readings. The certificate covers general-purpose weighing when an indicator is connected to a compatible, NTEP-approved weighing or load-receiving element.

If you’re selecting or replacing an indicator, we can help you review the model, component compatibility, and operating conditions for your application. Your complete scale installation must also meet the applicable weights-and-measures requirements.

Contractor licensing helps you confirm that the contractor you hire is authorized for the work at your project location. For scale installation, check the licensed business, current status, classification, and any monetary limit against your project’s scope.

You can review our Tennessee Contractor License and request our general contractor licensing documentation. Tell us where your scale will be installed and what the project includes so we can provide the licensing documents you need to review.

Our LiDAR mapping team’s ASPRS membership connects us with professional education and the photogrammetry and remote sensing community. ASPRS stands for the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing.

ASPRS professional certification is a separate credential awarded to individuals. If your project requires a particular professional certification or mapping accuracy standard, talk with us about the qualifications and deliverables you need.

Avetta helps you review contractor safety, insurance, and other documentation against your organization’s supplier requirements. You can request our Avetta documentation as part of your contractor qualification process.

Before we work at your facility, share the supplier requirements for your project with us. Qualification depends on your organization’s criteria and the current status of the required documents.

How Avetta contractor qualification works

MSHA training requirements depend on the mine, the work being performed, and the worker’s classification. Training under Part 46 or Part 48 and site-specific hazard training may apply to scale installation, calibration, or service.

Before our visit, share your mine’s site-access requirements and request the MSHA training documentation for our personnel assigned to your project. Your team can then review that documentation against the requirements for the work.

A Transportation Worker Identification Credential, or TWIC, is a personnel security credential used for access to secure areas of regulated maritime facilities and vessels.

If you need scale service at a port or marine terminal, tell us your facility’s TWIC, escort, and site-access requirements before our visit so we can review the credentials needed for the assigned crew. Your facility’s authorization is also required for access.

TSA’s guide to TWIC
