Ophir Photonics, provider of laser measurement equipment and a Newport Corporation brand, has announced that the Ophir-Spiricon calibration process is now ACLASS accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2005, the international standard that recognises the technical competence of laboratories to carry out calibrations.
ISO/IEC 17025:2005 is used by labs to develop management systems for quality, administration, and technical operations. Ophir-Spiricon's accredited calibration process minimises unit-to-unit variation of a company's laser measurement equipment – thermal, photodiode, and pyroelectric laser sensors and meters – and provides a NIST-traceable series of measurements.
'ISO/IEC 17025 assures our customers that Ophir is calibrating their laser measurement equipment to the highest standards,' said Gary Wagner, general manager of Ophir Photonics' US operation.
