Quality Accreditation

Calibration Accreditation

OTC's calibration laboratory maintains UKAS accreditation for a wide variety of fibre optic, electrical and illuminance measurements. OTC was the first laboratory in the field of fibre optic measurements to be granted accreditation by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service.

Mutual recognition agreements between UKAS and other equivalent bodies ensure that such UKAS accreditation is recognised worldwide.

OTC is UKAS accredited laboratory number 0286.

Traceability

As a UKAS laboratory, OTC's reference standards are directly traceable to SI units via primary standards at UK National Physical Laboratory and elsewhere. Reference to standards used is made on every OTC certificate of calibration, thus ensuring that all customers have a direct chain of traceability to prime standards.

Certification & Results

OTC issues both UKAS and in-house calibration certificates. The latter use the same traceability chain, but use simpler certificates that meet the requirements of BS EN ISO 9000 and BS EN ISO 10012-1 standards. In all cases, full results and a certificate are issued.
