Does Calibration to ISO/IEC 17025 conform to Z540.3?

[msiwatts]

We are a small electronics manufacturer that is AS9100C and ATEX certified.

We have requirements from customers that calibrations must conform to Z540.3 and the ATEX standard requires that calibration must comply to ISO/IEC 17025 and bear an accreditation logo. If we require calibration to ISO/IEC 17025 does it still conform to Z540.3?

The quick answer: No.
