What is the difference between ISO 10725 and ANSI Z540.3? Where can I down load the ANSI Z540.3 standard?

A thorough comparison of the two can be found at www.hartscientific.com/publications/17025.htm.

Actually, that's a comparison of ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994 Part I and ANSI/ISO/IEC 17025:2000. Anyone care to find a comparison between ANSI/NCSL Z540.3-2006 and ANSI/ISO/IEC 17025:2005?

First question to ask, are you accredited by a MRA signatory AB? (IAS, NVLAP, A2LA, L-A-B, ACLASS) If yes, then concentrate on Z540.3 Clause 5.3, which is for accredited calibration providers (aka calibration servicing component).....if you service military primarily, then you - MAY - be required to do the entire Z540.3, in which case, wait till the handbook is released in a couple of months.
Hope this helps.

Re: What is the difference between ISO 10725 and ANSI Z540.3
Sorry, I have to resurrect this thread.
From what I understand, the Z540.1 is now obsolete and is being replaced with the Z540.3. I mentioned this in my internal audit, and our auditor says that this is not right, and that the Z540.3 is a completely different "animal" (in my auditors words) that the Z540.1. He also says we should be referencing Z540.1 on our certs.
I'm getting really frustrated on this because Z540.1 has been superceded, so using it goes against 17025 specs of using the most current standard. Can someone please help me on this???

Simple facts:
ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994 has been superseded; however it may well still be required by your customers, and in any case will likely still be referenced for some years, as was MIL-STD-45662A before it.....
ANSI/NCSL Z540.3-2006 is the current live standard.....the Handbook is FINALLY out, as of a few weeks back.....but survey your customers.....
In terms of certs, you could likely not mention either and be OK.....after all, they are American National Standards.....but before dropping them.....survey your customers and see what they need.....

If you want a comparison then you need to get a copy of the Handbook for the Application of ANSI/NCSL Z540.3-2006; Requirements for the Calibration of Measuring and Test Equipment. There is a 17025:2005 vs Z540.3 comparison matrix in the back. Also, the handbook is very useful in updating your Calibration Quality Manual to the latest requirements. It can be found at the NCSLI website.
