Atlas earns A2LA accreditations
Atlas is proud to announce that the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) has again awarded Atlas certification to ISO/IEC 17025,general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. The scope of Atlas' continued accreditation covers two areas:
1 Irradiance calibration of xenon and fluorescent light sources associated with the Ci Series Weather- OmeterW SUNTESTW UV2000, and Xenotestw instruments;corrosion cabinets; competitors' weathering devices; and environmental chambers.
2 Field service calibrations of these units performed by our Technical Services Department.
Atlas has also expanded the field service calibrations to include the UK and French business units. ISO 17025 accreditation is becoming a global requirement. Atlas reviewed several options on how to best serve our customers in territories that require calibration services from an ISO 17025-accredited calibration laboratory and determined that adding the UK and French technical service groups under Atlas MTT's accreditation was in everyone's best interest.
Earlier this year, Atlas MTT GmbH accelerated laboratory in Germany also received an extended accreditation to ISO 17025 for irradiance calibrations. With this achievement, Atlas customers can continue to depend on the independent assurance that the calibrations performed on their instruments meet the level of quality they have come to expect from Atlas.
Additionally, Atlas has gained ISO 9001:2000 accreditation for Atlas MTT GmbH. This covers the implementation and maintenance of the quality management system for development, production, sales, and service of material testing equipment and analytic systems. ISO 9001:2000 ensures that we can consistently provide goods and services that meet your needs and expectations and comply with applicable regulations.
