Components of a Calibration Certificate

Other ISO-17025 Requirements

Accreditation bodies may also require the following items on calibration certificates.

Logos
Accrediting Bodies also require that their logo and accreditation numbers appear on the certificate. The statement about bilateral agreements is included to assist with the acceptance of the certificate by a foreign accreditation organization.

Copyright
A copyright notice is included along with a declaration that the certificate should only be reproduced in full. This helps to avoid misleading information.

Optional
Although it is not a requirement, a certificate may also carry a checked by signature. This is an in-house requirement for a particular laboratory that allows for checking of the certificate by an additional staff member.
