Comprehensive Guide to ISO 17025 Calibration of Pressure Controllers and Calibrators Laboratory Testing Service Provided by Eurolab

Standard-Related Information

The ISO 17025 calibration of pressure controllers and calibrators testing service provided by Eurolab is governed by a set of international and national standards that ensure the accuracy, reliability, and consistency of test results. The following sections outline the relevant standards, their scope, and the legal and regulatory framework surrounding this testing service.

ISO Standards

The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is responsible for developing and publishing international standards that facilitate global trade and commerce. In the context of calibration and testing services, ISO 17025 is the primary standard that governs laboratory testing. This standard specifies the general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories.

ASTM Standards

The American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) is a non-profit organization that develops and publishes standards for materials, products, systems, and services. In the context of pressure controllers and calibrators, ASTM E2799-13 standard specifies the requirements for the calibration of pressure gauges.

EN and TSE Standards

The European Committee for Standardization (CEN) and the Turkish Standards Institution (TSE) develop and publish standards that are specific to the European Union and Turkey. In the context of pressure controllers and calibrators, EN 13411-1:2013 standard specifies the requirements for the calibration of pressure gauges.

Standard Development Organizations

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and the American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) are the primary standard development organizations that govern laboratory testing and calibration. These organizations collaborate to ensure that standards are consistent, harmonized, and up-to-date.
