Taipei, Taiwan – Ikonix, the manufacturer of the Associated Research, eec, and SCI brands and global leader in electrical safety compliance testers and power sources, is pleased to announce that its Ikonix offices have successfully achieved ISO 17025 accreditation for their calibration laboratories from the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA).
The Ikonix Asia and Ikonix Taiwan offices launched their calibration service for the APAC region on December 1, 2023, and have received positive feedback from customers of the Associated Research, EEC, and SCI brands. Customers appreciate the thorough calibration covering the full range of instrument specifications and the rapid 5 business-day turnaround time. Unlike other accredited laboratories that often send instruments back to the original manufacturer for recalibration if out of tolerance, which is time-consuming and costly, Ikonix offers a one-stop service for verification, calibration, and adjustments. This minimizes downtime as Ikonix is also the original manufacturer of the Associated Research, EEC, and SCI brands.
“In today’s competitive environment, manufacturers need to ensure they are producing the highest quality products on the market in terms of performance, reliability, and consumer safety. This has increased the market demand for ISO 17025 calibration certificates, which report levels of uncertainty in the calibration measurements, measurements that are traceable and recognized internationally. In addition, auditors from nationally recognized testing laboratories in their annual inspections are specifically looking for ISO 17025 calibration certificates from accredited organizations such as A2LA,” explained Shannon Sivak, Director of Global Sales. “As an accredited A2LA ISO 17025 calibration laboratory, customers will have greater confidence in using Ikonix’s calibration services to ensure their electrical safety compliance testers and power sources are performing at peak performance in their manufacturing environments.”
Types of Calibration Offered:
- ISO Calibration: Accredited service providing measurement data and uncertainty traceable to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Ideal for facilities expecting audits, ensuring compliance with the highest standards and global recognition.
- Standard Calibration: Basic service including a certificate stating the instrument is calibrated using NIST traceable standards, ensuring reliability and accuracy.
Choosing Ikonix for your calibration needs offers several significant benefits:
- Rapid Turnaround:
Fast 5-business-day calibration. If the instrument requires repair during the calibration process, the 5-business-day period will restart, covering both repair and calibration. This ensures your equipment returns to optimal performance quickly, minimizing production downtime and enhancing productivity.
- Cost Saving
Our one-stop service for verification, calibration, and adjustment eliminates the need to send instruments back and forth between the calibration lab and the original manufacturer for recalibration. This approach saves both time and costs, providing a more efficient and economical solution.
- Traceability and Accuracy
We provide certification ensuring that calibration, measurements, and adjustments are not only accurate but traceable to a National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
- Full-Scope Calibration
Our calibration is conducted based on Associated Research, SCI Electric Safety Tester, and EEC AC Power Source specification scope, ensuring a thorough calibration and adjustment across all measurement ranges, rather than merely calibrating a few basic points.
- Extended Warranty:
Calibrating annually with Ikonix qualifies your Associated Research, EEC, and SCI branded products beyond the original 5-year warranty through its extended warranty program. The extended warranty program also covers the unit for 5-years beyond the instruments discontinued date.
At Ikonix, we are committed to delivering comprehensive solutions that offer top-quality, precise instruments and ensure swift and reliable calibration services. For more information about Ikonix Calibration and its extensive benefits, please visit our calibration service website or contact us.
*Since October 1st, 2024, all outgoing products will include a standard calibration report. Customers also have the option to add an ISO calibration report if needed.
