Re: Cert of Calibration Suppliers for an ISO 9001 company
Hi Raffy,
I will get back to you because I do not have my reference documents with me.
I do not consider myself an "accredited lab expert", but I will explore for you.
Other (automotive) Covers may chime is as well.

Hi Stijloor,
Some concerns that comes into my mind with regard to the requirements of ISO/TS16949:
1) What if we cannot find any lab accredited to ISO17025 for a certain equipment. Will our Certifying Body will issue an NC if the said equipment was not calibrated to an ISO17025 accredited? Please advise.
2. What must be done to provide compliance to the requirements aside from an ISO17025 accredited?
3. What if the said equipment was calibrated by an authorized Calibration Service Providers, e.g. the OEM authorized ABC Company to be their calibration Service Provider for all equipment they manufacture. Will it be against the requirements of Note 2 of Clause 7.6.3.2 of ISO/TS16949? Please advise. :frustrated:
4. Is it acceptable that the equipment will only give an ANSI Z540 certification with NIST traceability and uncertainty.? Instead of ISO17025? Please comment.
5. Can we provide a provision in our procedure that since we cannot find an Accredited ISO17025 Laboratory locally, is it possible to accept those Calibration Service Provider that are not ISO 17025, i.e. Z540, ISO9001:2000? Is this acceptable? If not, what we should do?
Please advise.
Thank you very in advance for the usual prompt attention you will give in this request.
Best regards,
Raffy
