Kevin: I would recommend that you discuss this with your accreditation agency up-front. In our case, we are allowed to do such an "in-house" calibration providing that: (a) the certificate meets ALL of the 17025 calibration report requirements; (b) we calculate [and report on the cal cert] the measurement uncertainty associated with the calibration; (c) we have a WRITTEN in-house calibration procedure for the instrument; and; (d) that we have DOCUMENTED training (or experience) records demonstrating the competency of the individual performing the calibration.
Give me a call if you have questions.
