Single source EMC testing service launched
Sira Test and Certification has formed an alliance to offer a one-stop shop facility for customers who are manufacturing electrical equipment for use in hazardous areas.
Aimed at improving users' understanding of good measurement practice, the new course addresses lack of knowledge in the following areas: what is calibration; specifying calibration requirements/how much calibration is needed; use of equipment for its intended purpose; and what is an acceptable calibration.
This course has been developed to promote awareness of the good measurement practices that are necessary to provide assurances that the chain of measurement traceability is unbroken.
Developed to provide people working in the field of measurement with the necessary knowledge to understand the requirements of new international standards on metrology, the course is ideal for candidates with some familiarity with laboratory measurement procedures.
The basic requirements of three ISO standards/guides are covered during the day, to ensure that good practices are adhered to in making measurements and good practices that must be followed by users of calibration services are highlighted: ISO/IEC17025 "General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories"; ISO/TAG4/WG3 "Guide to the expression of uncertainty of measurement"; and ISO/IEC Guide 43:1996[E] Part 1: "Development and operation of proficiency testing schemes".
This new course provides the perfect entry-level introduction to traceability and measurement, at a cost of GBP 350 per day per candidate.
