Expert ISO Calibration Services
At Tektronix, our commitment to quality is the cornerstone of our ISO calibration services. Our ISO 9001 certification and ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation are not just credentials; they represent our unwavering dedication to delivering accuracy, reliability, and confidence in your critical measurements. We understand that accurate and dependable measurements, achieved through professional calibration services following ISO standards, underpin your innovation, quality control, and operational success.
What is ISO 9001?
ISO 9001 is an internationally recognized standard for quality management systems (QMS). It is part of the ISO 9000 family, providing guidelines for organizations to establish, implement, maintain, and continually improve their QMS. The goal of ISO 9001 is to ensure products and services consistently meet customer requirements and enhance customer satisfaction.
Key ISO 9001 Principles Guiding Our ISO Calibration Services
- Customer Focus: We strive to understand and meet your needs for high-quality calibration services, aiming to exceed your expectations.
- Leadership: Our leadership champions a quality-focused culture throughout our calibration operations.
- Involvement of People: Our skilled technicians and metrology experts are integral to our quality objectives and continuous improvement.
- Process Approach: We meticulously manage our calibration processes for consistent, reliable outcomes in all our calibration services.
- Continuous Improvement: We continually enhance our processes and technical capabilities to improve your service experience.
- Evidence-Based Decision Making: Decisions regarding our calibration processes are based on reliable data and analysis.
- Relationship Management: Strong supplier and partner relationships ensure the highest quality at every stage.
ISO 9001 certification, achieved through formal assessment by an accredited body, validates an organization's commitment to robust quality management practices. This certification is a fundamental element of Tektronix's reliable calibration services.
What is ISO/IEC 17025:2017?
ISO/IEC 17025:2017 establishes the global standard for the technical competence of testing and calibration laboratories. It specifies the general requirements for laboratories to carry out tests and/or calibrations. Laboratories use ISO/IEC 17025:2017 to implement a quality system that enhances their ability to consistently produce valid results. This standard is pivotal for any ISO 17025 calibration company aiming for the highest levels of measurement quality.
Continuous Improvement and ISO/IEC 17025:2017
A core tenet of ISO/IEC 17025:2017 is continual improvement. Regular internal audits identify opportunities to enhance testing or calibrating procedures within our ISO/IEC 17025 calibration services. Laboratories are also expected to stay current with scientific and technological advances, ensuring that an accredited lab like Tektronix always provides state-of-the-art measurement accuracy.
Assessment against ISO/IEC 17025 is performed by national accreditation bodies. Laboratories are "accredited" under ISO/IEC 17025:2017, not merely "certified." Accreditation adds the crucial element of a third-party Accreditation Body attesting to technical competence within a laboratory for a specific Scope of Accreditation, beyond just adherence to a quality system. This is a key differentiator for premier ISO 17025 accredited calibration services.

The Difference: ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Lab Accreditation vs. Accredited Calibration Services
Understanding this distinction is vital for ensuring the level of calibration quality your applications demand.
ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Lab Accreditation
Calibration laboratories accredited to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 undergo regular, rigorous audits by independent accrediting bodies (e.g., A2LA, UKAS, DAkkS). These audits verify technical competence and adherence to a proven quality management system. Each accredited lab maintains a specific "Scope of Accreditation" listing the measurements and equipment for which its processes meet ISO/IEC 17025:2017 requirements.
Labs describing themselves as merely "ISO/IEC 17025 compliant" may follow certain standards, but their processes lack the independent verification of technical competence provided by accreditation.
Tektronix ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited Calibration Services
Choosing Tektronix for ISO 17025 accredited calibration services means investing in the highest assurance of measurement accuracy, traceability, and reliability. It signifies that calibrations are performed strictly to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 specifications within our approved Scope of Accreditation.
Our 17025 accredited calibration services deliver:
- A Detailed Certificate of Calibration: This official document features the accrediting body's logo, providing immediate, internationally recognized proof of the calibration's integrity.
- Essential Calibration Data: Includes calibration date and, if specified by you or contract, the calibration due date.
- Statement of Traceability: A formal statement confirming traceability to national or international standards.
- Comprehensive Measurement Data and Uncertainty: Crucially, for each parameter tested, we provide "as found" and "as left" measurement data, along with the calculated measurement uncertainty, offering full insight into your instrument's performance. This is a hallmark of quality ISO/IEC 17025 calibration services.

ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Compliance and Global Accreditation Bodies
Laboratories offering ISO 17025 calibration services seek accreditation from internationally recognized external bodies. This accreditation formally recognizes their capability and technical competence for specific calibrations listed in their Scope of Accreditation. Tektronix collaborates with numerous prestigious accreditation bodies worldwide.
A few of these accreditation bodies include:
- A2LA (American Association for Laboratory Accreditation)
