This laboratory offers commercial and field calibration service.
2
Calibration and Measurement Capability Uncertainty (CMC) is the smallest uncertainty of measurement
that a laboratory can achieve within its scope of accreditation when performing more or less routine
calibrations of nearly ideal measurement standards or nearly ideal measuring equipment. CMCs represent
expanded uncertainties expressed at approximately the 95 % level of confidence, usually using a coverage
factor of k = 2. The actual measurement uncertainty of a specific calibration performed by the laboratory
may be greater than the CMC due to the behavior of the customer’s device and to influences from the
circumstances of the specific calibration.
3
Field calibration service is available for this calibration and this laboratory meets A2LA R104 – General
Requirements: Accreditation of Field Testing and Field Calibration Laboratories for these calibrations.
Please note the actual measurement uncertainties achievable on a customer's site can normally be
expected to be larger than the CMC found on the A2LA Scope. Allowance must be made for aspects such
as the environment at the place of calibration and for other possible adverse effects such as those caused
by transportation of the calibration equipment. The usual allowance for the actual uncertainty introduced
by the item being calibrated, (e.g. resolution) must also be considered and this, on its own, could result
in the actual measurement uncertainty achievable on a customer’s site being larger than the CMC.

(A2LA Cert. No. 1395.12) Revised 1/12/2022 Page 20 of 21


4
The stated measured values are determined using the indicated instrument (see Comments). This
capability is suitable for the calibration of the devices intended to measure or generate the measured value
in the ranges indicated. CMC’s are expressed as either a specific value that covers the full range or as a
percent or fraction of the reading plus a fixed floor specification.
5
Based on using the standard at the temperature the Fluke 5520A with SC600 was calibrated (tcal ± 5 °C)
and assuming the instrument is zeroed at least every seven days or when the ambient temperature changes
more than 5 °C. For resistance, a zero calibration is performed at least every 12 hours within ± 1 oC of
use.
6
Based on using the standard at the temperature the HP 3458A was calibrated (tcal ± 5 °C) and an auto-
calibration (ACAL) was performed within the previous 24 hours (± 1 °C of ambient temperature).
7
In the statement of CMC; the value is defined as the percentage of reading unless otherwise noted. In the
statement of CMC, R is the numerical value of the resolution of the device. In the statement of CMC, L
is the numerical value of the nominal length of the device measured in inches.
8
CMC uncertainties are best case at 1 kHz.
9
This scope meets A2LA’s P112 Flexible Scope Policy.
10
The type of instrument or material being calibrated is defined by the parameter. This indicates the
laboratory is capable of calibrating instruments that measure or generate the values in the ranges indicated
for the listed measurement parameter.
11
This laboratory meets R205 – Specific Requirements: Calibration Laboratory Accreditation Program for
the types of dimensional tests listed above and is considered equivalent to that of a calibration.
