Why Accreditation? - Customer
benefits of Troemner's accreditations are numerous:
- Buying
with Confidence
- products and services available through Troemner are
held to "world class" standards through rigorous
independent third party audits.
- Global
Market Access - Troemner's accreditations are widely
recognized internationally - companies exporting products
or services can avoid the cost and time in re-testing
products for many markets.
- Due
Diligence - utilizing the products and services
from an independently accredited facility such as Troemner
demonstrates due diligence in the case of legal or regulatory
action.
- Improved
Product and Service Quality - avoid failure as a
result of relying on invalid test results from poorly
calibrated equipment.
Troemner
has achieved accreditations in various disciplines from
ISO, NVLAP and UKAS. In addition, Troemner holds membership
and participates in a variety of other quality assurance
programs including:
ISO - The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is
a world wide federation of national standards bodies from
some 140 countries, one from each country. Established
in 1947, the mission of ISO
is to "promote the development of standardization
and related activities in the world with a view to facilitating
the international exchange of goods and services, and
to developing cooperation in the spheres of intellectual,
scientific, technological and economic activity."
In
1993, Troemner was one of the first companies in the Philadelphia
area to achieve ISO 9001 registration. Troemner has a
thoroughly documented quality system that ensures our
customers receive the products and services they request.
Troemner's ISO 9001 quality system has been audited regularly
by internal, external, and customer auditors, to ensure
our continued compliance with this standard. Troemner
meets ISO/IEC 17025 "General Requirements for the
Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories".

NVLAP
- Troemner's laboratories have been built to meet the
specifications prescribed and administered through the
National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
This program is the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation
Program (NVLAP).
Troemner is accredited by NVLAP for the specific scope
of accreditation under lab code 105013-0. The NVLAP program
was originally established in 1976 as an accrediting body
for testing laboratories and was expanded in 1994 to include
accreditation for calibration laboratories as well. The
mission of NVLAP "is to provide the highest quality
accreditation services to its customers and to be recognized
nationally and internationally as a 'world class' laboratory
accreditation program." NVLAP has broad international
recognition with other accreditation organizations. NVLAP
mutual recognition arrangements include The International
Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC), and
The Asia Pacific Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation
(APLAC).
NVLAP
accredits laboratories on the basis of their ability to
meet certain requirements, such as tight environmental
controls and low uncertainties that are defined in the
U.S. standard ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994 and the international
standard ISO/IEC 17025. To obtain and maintain NVLAP accreditation,
Troemner must undergo rigorous routine audits. Today,
Troemner offers NVLAP accredited mass,
mass density determinations,
mass magnetic susceptibility
determinations, pipette,
humidity and pressure
calibrations. Troemner is also NVLAP accredited for comparison
temperature calibrations. An
application for fixed-point temperature calibration is in progress.

NVLAP Scope of Accreditation
Accreditation to ISO:IEC 17025:2005 version pending results of upcoming audit.
 UKAS
- Along with Troemner's NVLAP accreditation, we also have
accreditation from the United Kingdom Accreditation Service
(UKAS, formerly known as NAMAS). UKAS
is widely recognized internationally through bilateral
and multilateral agreements and through its participation
in the European Co-operation for Accreditation
(EA),
The International Accreditation Forum (IAF)
and The International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation
(ILAC).
UKAS accredited laboratories meet the requirements of
ISO/IEC 17025 and EN 45001 - the European standard widely
accepted throughout the world for competence of calibration
laboratories. Today, Troemner offers UKAS accredited mass
calibrations.
