Vision Engineering, a 61 year old British leading designer and manufacturer of high-quality visual measurement and inspection technologies, has attained ISO 17025:2017 accreditation from UKAS and is now a UKAS accredited calibration laboratory No. 7706.

Readers of this column will be familiar with the subject of measurement uncertainty since I comment on it from time to time, as I did last month. Those readers that have not been that interested in it will certainly run across it on reports from their calibration sources.

ISO 17025 specifies quality management requirements for the competence and consistent operation of laboratories to produce precise and accurate test and calibration data.

The scope of the ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accreditation includes several SAE AS6171 test methods for suspect/counterfeit electrical, electronic and electromechanical (EEE) parts. 

ISO/IEC 17025:2005 accreditation for technical competence of testing and calibration laboratory represents a commitment to continuous improvement in quality testing for development of metrology-grade measuring equipment
