Calibration and Verification: Assessing Conformity
Calibration and Verification: Assessing
Conformity
The latest international standards require that calibration uncertainties be
evaluated and taken into account when a declaration of conformity is
given for a specification. Our uncertainty evaluations are carried out in
accordance with the guidelines stated in the Guide to the Expression of
Uncertainty in Measurement by ISO, IEC, BIPM (Bureau International des
Poids et Mesures) and other international organizations.
In order to ensure coherence, EXFO makes every effort to establish
correspondence between calibration uncertainties, guaranteed
specifications, allowed deviation between the unit and the standard, as
well as the conformance assessment of the power meter status upon
reception of the unit.
