Second Quest & Metrosonics® Calibration Laboratory Receives Independent Accreditation
Both authorized U.S. service centers now meet requirements of ISO 17025 and ANSI Cal Lab Standards
Oconomowoc, WI, April 21, 2004: Quest Technologies Inc, an employee-owned world leader in the development and manufacture of monitoring instrumentation and software for occupational and environmental health & safety (OEHS) applications, today announced their Rochester (NY) Technical Center (RTC) was accredited by the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA) on April 13, 2004 for technical competence in the field of calibration. RTC was determined to meet the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025-1999 "General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories" and ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994 "Calibration Laboratories and Measuring and Test Equipment – General Requirements".
"Our industry is plagued by opportunistic companies lacking the training, competencies and credentials to provide calibration services. Independent customer satisfaction surveys indicate our customers choose Quest, in large part, because of the high quality and reliability of our products. It goes hand-in-hand that high quality products should be supported by high quality services. Our customers spend substantial dollars each year collecting and analyzing exposure data using our products. That data is used to protect the lives of workers and control the liabilities of employers. That data can only be as meaningful as it is accurate, and claims of accuracy must be traceable to standards that are meaningful. This accreditation confirms that customers using our service centers for calibration will have the traceability they need," said Dan Webster, CEO & President of Quest Technologies.
Accredited calibration services are now available from Quest at their Oconomowoc, WI and Rochester, NY facilities. Calibrations can be arranged on-line or by phone.
