The company we use for most of our calibrations is accredited to ISO17025, but they charge extra (almost double) for an ISO17025 calibration. Their regular calibration certificates do have the ILAC-MRA symbol on them. Its not clear to me that the ISO17025 calibration is actually performed differently than their regular calibration. Is it a requirement that we pay for the ISO17025 calibration to meet the intent of sanctioned interpretation #10, or does the ILAC-MRA stamp on the calibration certificate cover this requirement?
