ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited

Our lab is accredited by the A2LA to ISO/IEC 17025-2005 and ANSI/NCSL Z-540-1-1994. Your
ISO 9000 (series) or other quality program in most cases recognize this accreditation and can
accept our calibrations without the burden of conducting site audits or quality surveys.

Our A2LA Certificate & Scope of Accreditation

 Calibration of volumetric glassware consists of the following
services:

Z The instrument is inspected visually for defects in numbering, graduating, or any

obvious physical defects.

Z The instrument is examined under a polariscope to be certain it is free from strains in

the glass (usually from the manufacturing process), as severe strains may affect the
integrity of the instrument in the long term.

 Z In a pipette or other artifact with a precision bore, the bore will be examined under
magnification for irregularity in shape or any other defect which would render the
instrument unsuitable for certification.



Z If the instrument does not have a serial number, a ceramic decal serial number will be
affixed.


 Z The instrument is next carefully cleaned, using solvents or detergents as appropriate,

and rinsed with alcohol, then with water, and finally with distilled water, and
thoroughly dried by positive ventilation using filtered air.

Z The instrument is then tested per ICL procedure 03, based on ASTM E-542, as
appropriate for the volumes to be contained or delivered. Calibration is performed by
hydrostatic weighing using distilled water, corrected for temperature, atmospheric
pressure and air bouyancy. Readings at each test point (as appropriate) are resolved
under magnification to one-tenth of the smallest scale division and are carefully
noted.

Z A Report of Test (sometimes called a Certificate of Calibration) is prepared detailing all

pertinant information concerning the test, the observed readings of the instrument,
(with corresponding corrections), and all the required information to convey NIST
traceability. (See photo at right, above) All certificates are laminated in heavy plastic
for protection in the laboratory environment.

Z A durable calibration tag is affixed to the artifact indicating the date of most recent
calibration and the next due date.

Z We will notify you when your instrument is due for recalibration. (One less thing for you
to remember)
 Many quality systems now require that volumetric glassware be calibrated or certified (the
terms are often used interchangeably) where precise measurements are of critical importance.
Accordingly, ICL maintains a modern, well equipped, ACCREDITED volumetric laboratory. Our
calibration capabilities cover graduated volumetric glassware with capacities from 0.1 ml to
3,000 ml.

Important Note
Many of the liquid-in-glass thermometers and many of the thermo-hydrometers in this website contain
mercury as the thermo-sensitive fluid. Certain states prohibit the sale of mercury-added instruments.
Instruments containing mercury are not offered for sale where prohibited by law.

We make every effort to maintain information and pricing current, however despite our best efforts
typographical errors may occur. Prices and product specifications may change without notice.
