We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Calibration Laboratories", and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest. Let me be your guide.
 
Start with the news release Accreditations cover quality and calibration from Endevco, which we summarised at the time by saying "Endevco has renewed its ISO9001:2000 accreditation and has received certification from the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation for its sensor calibration laboratory". A few weeks before, we featured the news release Pressure balance suits on-site testing from Calibration Dynamics: "CPB5000 balances incorporate a piston and cylinder made of tungsten carbide, which is renowned for its small temperature coefficient".
 
In April 2007, we covered the news from Impac Infrared concerning its Product overview brochure - take a look at Product overview brochure details new additions which says: "With new additions to its pyrometer product line and a new range of online thermal imaging cameras Impac reckons it can offer a solution for most temperature measurement applications".
 
Take a look also at the news release from HBM UK, Force transducers prevent manual setup problems, as well as Lloyd Instruments employee receives accreditation from Ametek Calibration Instruments, and Materials testers calibrated in India from Lloyd Instruments.
