SCOPE OF ACCREDITATION TO ISO/IEC 17025:2017 & ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994
In recognition of the successful completion of the A2LA evaluation process, accreditation is granted to our laboratory to perform the following Time and Frequency calibrations, some of which include tachometers, stop watches, and timers.
Full details are listed below. You can also search all of our accredited calibrations or learn more about our in-lab calibration service.
Time and Frequency Calibration Scope Includes:
| Parameter/Equipment | Range | CMC2, 6 (±) | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Digital / Mechanical Tachometer3 | (40 to 300) rpm | 0.5 % rdg + 1 LSD | Method: ACP-041; direct reflective pickup tachometer (LSD = least significant digit) |
| (300 to 3000) rpm | 0.1 % rdg + 1 LSD | ||
| (3000 to 99 999) rpm | 0.1 % rdg + 1 LSD | ||
| Time Interval – Timers & Stopwatches3 | 15 s to 24 hr | 0.36 s (24 hr test) | Method: ACP-048; NIST synchronized time |
| Frequency Generate – Measuring Equipment3 | 0.01 Hz to 2 MHz | 3 μHz/Hz + 5 μHz | Method: ACP-070; Fluke 5522A |
| Frequency – Measure3 | (1 to 10) Hz | 2 μHz/Hz | Method: ACP-070; Fluke 8588A |
| (10 to 1000) Hz | 69 nHz/Hz | ||
| (1 to 10) kHz | 32 nHz/Hz | ||
| (10 to 100) kHz | 15 nHz/Hz | ||
| 100 kHz to 10 MHz | 14 nHz/Hz |
Notes from the A2LA scope:
- 2 CMC (Calibration & Measurement Capability) is the smallest uncertainty the lab can achieve within its scope for routine calibrations of nearly ideal equipment, expressed at approximately 95 % confidence (k = 2). The actual uncertainty of a specific calibration may be larger depending on the customer’s device and conditions.
- 3 Field (on-site) calibration service is available for this calibration. Uncertainties achievable at a customer’s site are normally expected to be larger than the CMC listed.
- 6 The type of instrument or material being calibrated is defined by the parameter; the lab can calibrate instruments that measure or generate values in the ranges listed.
