Calibration certificates play a pivotal role in ensuring the accuracy and reliability of torque measurement devices. Understanding the difference between accredited and non-accredited certifications is important, as the value and benefits of each certification type are essential for maintaining operational integrity, safety, and regulatory compliance.
What is a Calibration Certificate?
A calibration certificate attests that a torque tool or torque measurement device meets specified standards for accuracy and performance, either as requested by the customer or prescribed by the manufacturer. This certification is pivotal in automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, and construction sectors, where exact torque application is critical for operational integrity and safety.
ISO 17025-Accredited Calibration Certificate
An ISO 17025-accredited calibration certificate signifies that the torque tool meets internationally recognized standards for accuracy and reliability. This certification ensures workmanship quality, safety, and regulatory compliance. Unlike non-accredited certificates, ISO 17025 certification includes an ISO certification stamp and a statement of measurement uncertainty, enhancing the credibility and trustworthiness of the calibration.
Non-Accredited Calibration Certificate
A non-accredited calibration certificate assures users that the torque tool meets recognized accuracy and reliability standards. Although it follows the same calibration process as an accredited service, it lacks an ISO certification stamp and a statement of measurement uncertainty. Nonetheless, it is essential for ensuring workmanship quality, safety, and compliance with industry regulations.
