This laboratory offers commercial calibration service.

Calibration and Measurement Capability Uncertainty (CMC) is the smallest uncertainty of measurement
that a laboratory can achieve within its scope of accreditation when performing more or less routine
calibrations of nearly ideal measurement standards or nearly ideal measuring equipment. CMCs represent
expanded uncertainties expressed at approximately the 95 % level of confidence, usually using a coverage
factor of k = 2. The actual measurement uncertainty of a specific calibration performed by the laboratory
may be greater than the CMC due to the behavior of the customer’s device and to influences from the
circumstances of the specific calibration.
3
Field calibration service is available for this calibration. Please note the uncertainties achievable on a
customer's site can normally be expected to be larger than the Best Measurement Capabilities (BMC) that
the accredited laboratory has been assigned as Best Uncertainty on the A2LA Scope. Allowance must be
made for aspects such as the environment at the place of calibration and for other possible adverse effects
such as those caused by transportation of the calibration equipment. The usual allowance for the
uncertainty introduced by the item being calibrated, (e.g. resolution) must also be considered and this, on
its own, could result in the calibration uncertainty being larger than the BMC.

G is Gauss.
5
This scope meets A2LA’s P112 Flexible Scope Policy.
6
The type of instrument or material being calibrated is defined by the parameter. This indicates the
laboratory is capable of calibrating instruments that measure or generate the values in the ranges indicated
for the listed measurement parameter.
7
The stated measured values are determined using the indicated instrument (see Comments). This
capability is suitable for the calibration of the devices intended to measure or generate the measured value
in the ranges indicated. CMC’s are expressed as either a specific value that covers the full range or as a
percent or fraction of the reading plus a fixed floor specification.
