Obviously the different accreditation clubs are pressuring us into
compliance with their wishes. This should be opposed. Who is to say one
accreditation system is better than the other? If we ignore their requests
rather than jump to comply we would be better off. What is so wrong about
using our ISO 9000 or NARTE ? How many accreditation clubs do we have to
join?

Beginning in July, 1997, A2LA is requiring that accredited test labs must
use
an accredited calibration lab for instrumentation. I believe NVLAP has a
similar requirement. Only labs accredited by A2LA, NVLAP, or A2LA
MOU partners will be approved. We have spoken with several major equipment
vendors and none of them are accredited and in fact have stated they have
no
plans to become accredited because no customers are asking for this.
Can anyone provide me with any names of accredited equipment calibration
labs
in the US?
Thanks,
