ISO Guide 34 Accreditation | ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited | ISO 9001 Certified

Cerilliant Announces Additional ISO Accreditations - ISO Guide 34 and ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditations Received

ROUND ROCK, TX – (November 21, 2008) – Cerilliant Corporation has become the first reference material manufacturer in the United States to be accredited to the rigorous ISO Guide 34 standard. Cerilliant added the accreditations of ISO Guide 34 and ISO/IEC 17025 to its arsenal of quality credentials as certified by ACLASS Accreditation Services, an internationally-recognized accreditation company and a participant in the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC). Cerilliant has been certified to the ISO 9001 standard since 1997 and now offers its customers the assurance of this triple certification to ISO standards.

ISO Guide 34 requires the reference material producer to assess each of its production and testing systems and assign an uncertainty value to all reference materials classified as “Certified Reference Materials” and to demonstrate traceability to SI units wherever possible. As part of its Risk Management and Continuous Improvement programs, Cerilliant has performed detailed statistical analysis of its production and testing systems and will provide customers with statements of uncertainty as required by the ISO Guide.

Accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025 “General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories” addresses technical competency of the testing laboratory and, specifically, a laboratory’s ability to produce precise and accurate test and calibration data. While designed to be applicable to laboratories running third party samples, accurate test results are critical to the proper characterization of reference materials and, therefore, relevant to reference material producers.
