Quality, Traceability, Accreditation

At Transcat, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of excellence and accuracy in the calibration industry.

Quality Systems

Transcat’s quality systems have been ISO 9001:2000 registered, with Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL File A1059) since 1992. Our registration covers all calibrations performed by Transcat, whether in our laboratories or at your site. Quality management at Transat isn’t simply an event, but rather a continuous process of training, assessment and improvement.

Traceability

Traceability is a core element of our registration and accreditation processes. Our standards are traceable to NIST, equivalent national or international sources, or physical constants, as appropriate. We have a true reverse traceability system and provide appropriate notifications when required. You can have confidence in your measurement results, because they are related to a national/international standard with known uncertainties.

ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited Labs

All 12 Transcat labs have earned the widest scope of ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation in the industries we serve. But Transcat’s own internal quality requirements go well beyond this international standard.

Industry Recognized Experts

Calibration across a broad array of disciplines and instruments requires deep knowledge, expertise and experience, and Transcat’s calibration leaders are well-known throughout the industry as leading authorities. In addition, about half of our technicians have acquired the coveted ASQ Certified Calibration Technician certification, and more achieve this standard of excellence every year. Our knowledgeable team of experts provides only the best, most accurate and reliable calibrations.
