Thanks Jerry for your post,
The question is not a 4 to 1 calibration in this case(that is a issue with Z540.3) The question is under current 17205 and ILAC rules at this point. The UUT is not that accurate and is well spec'ed by the manufacture. The calibration equipment used by the cal lab was the same equipment or equivalent to the calibration equipment called out in the service manual for the UUT.
To bring people back to the question:
Can the Uncertainty listed on a 17205 logo accredited certification with uncertainties listed on the certification be larger than the specification of the UUT and still call the unit to be within manufactures specifications.
I am still talking back and forth with the accrediting body that the certification was listed under. I have went up the food chain and I have been told by this accreditation body YES and NO FIVE different times:mg:. Meaning that there people don't have a consistent stance on the issue either.
So how can I blame the calibration lab.
This issue has been since JUNE. Is there any auditors(Hershal?) that wont to take a this on and give guidance on why this is such a difficult issue.
Sorry I will not name the Accreditation body or the calab. Though I would really like to.
