Proof of this accreditation is required and will be maintained. In addition, the vendor
must have specific accreditation for the equipment being calibrated.
Purchase orders for calibration laboratories must include the requirement that the
calibration must be compliant with ISO/IEC 17025,
9. In-house Calibration
Very few calibrations are performed in-house, but if any are performed, all in-house
calibrations will follow ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard and will be recorded on the
Calibration Report Form. All equipment used for in-house calibrations will be NIST
traceable.
