In a world where sometimes the CERT and the accompanying Data Report document seem to be more important than the actual calibration or it’s effectiveness in actually verifying the test item’s compliance/non-compliance.
Question: Can or should a single point test of any equipment, even a multi-feature hand held meter be ever allowed? The ISO/IEC-17025:2005 seems to allow calibration provider/customer written agreements to almost any extent. Because of endless searches for cost containment and cost reductions, a commercial calibration lab could develop/offer an agreement, for ignorant customers, to perform single point calibrations on all of their supported test equipment. The development of the Ultra-Cheap-Basic-17025-Calibrations is actually happening now. I see this materializing. Should it?
Remote 17025 calibration.
A 17025 calibration sticker in the mail is next. OMG!
