3. Calibration:

Calibrations within the Fox Valley Metrology’s Scope of Accreditation are accredited to the ISO/IEC 17025 standard and are in accordance with our quality manual.

Additional charges may apply.
   1. Any work outside of the current scope of accreditation of Fox Valley Metrology will require additional review of the equipment and procedures.

Our standard decision rule 2 (Fox Valley level 5 Certificates) apply uncertainty guardbanding, and take the uncertainties into account when considering in or out of tolerance conditions, with the potential of readings to be “within uncertainty”. Our standard decision rule 3 (Fox Valley level 6 Certificates) are the same as our level 4 certificates with the addition of a probability of false acceptance calculation, reported pass/fail within customer supplied percentages. Level 6 certificates have additional charge and must be quoted separately.
   4. Upon completion of calibration activity, a label will be applied to that equipment piece or storage means which will include, at a minimum, the date recalibrated, name and/or initials, or number of individual performing the service, new expiration date and equipment identification. Calibration labels may be customized (i.e. date format, color, information shown).
