1.0 Introduction
Certificate Retrieval System (CRS) is a web-based documentation retrieval system that replaces the old
fashioned, time intensive, hands-on system of storing, finding, retrieving, and printing calibration certificates.
CRS enables your customers to retrieve and print their own calibration certificates in a secure, web-based
environment. Go to
www.CRScerts.com for the latest information.
CRS is designed to be the backbone of your certificate system, providing your company with an end-to-end
solution for recording calibration data, storing the data, and presenting the completed calibration certificates to
your customers. See Figure 1-1 for an overview of the CRS system.
