Ametek Land, a global player in industrial infrared non-contact temperature measurement, has achieved accreditation against the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 (general requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories) standard as approved by national accreditation bodies for its three laboratories across the world –India, United Kingdom and USA.

Phil Doyle, Customer Service Director at AMETEK Land said, “The accreditation has major benefits for customers as it means they can be reassured that their temperature measurement systems will achieve optimal operating performance while meeting the required national and international quality standards.”

The three AMETEK Land laboratories offer a comprehensive service for the certification of infrared thermometers, thermal imagers, scanners, and blackbody sources. The laboratory certification service verifies the performance accuracy of instruments at a given point by quantifying their errors. These are then reported in a calibration certificate that meets the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025:2017.

AMETEK Land’s ISO 17025 certification laboratories will also certify non-AMETEK Land thermometers/pyrometers within the scope of their approval.

All laboratory facilities are accredited against the ISO/IEC 17025:2017 standard as approved by national accreditation bodies – in United Kingdom – UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service), United States – ANAB (ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board), and India – NABL (National Accreditation Board for Testing and Calibration Laboratories) – who evaluate technical competence, impartiality, and performance.
