(Hmmm. I’ve never been to this side of the Elsmar forums before…)
Our company remanufactures process control instruments and valves. We became ISO 9001:2000 registered in August 2004.
One of our potential customers has suggested that we need to be certified to ISO 17025 before they can do business with us. It should be noted that we do use the services of an ISO 17025 laboratory to calibrate the instruments that we in turn use to calibrate our production instruments.
We suspect that the OEM’s of the instruments that we remanufacture are not ISO 17025 registered, which would beg the question as to why we should be certified if the OEM’s themselves are not?
Is there a list or a look-up website of U.S. companies that are ISO 17025 certified? Perhaps similar to www.whosregistered.com, which works so well to find companies that are registered to ISO 9001:2000 and related certificates?
Thanks!
