Metrology Calibration Laboratory Accredited by NVLAP To ISO/IEC
17025 
NVLAP
Lab Code 200414-0
The metrology laboratory provides accredited calibration
and testing services in mass echelon I, II, and III, volume, and time.
Linear and frequency calibration services are available with NIST Office
of Weights and Measures traceability recognition. Primary standards
are calibrated periodically by the National Institute of Standards and
Technology (NIST) and remain traceable to NIST through internal surveillance
and external comparisons. The laboratory is accredited by the National
Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP) to ISO/IEC 17025 and
is recognized by NIST, Division of Weights and Measures. The laboratory
quality system is based on ISO/IEC 17025, thereby meeting the requirements
of ISO 9000, QS 9000, ANSI/NCSL Z540-1, military standards, and other
national and international legal metrology requirements. The highest
standards of measurement are transferred from state government to business
and industry as well as other state agencies. These services are required
by public and private sectors, such as the Departments of Public Safety
and Transportation, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard, and by private companies
providing services to high tech industries across a broad spectrum.
