Endress+Hauser Flow, a global leader in flow measurement, is celebrating a significant milestone: 30 years of maintaining ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation for its calibration laboratories. Since achieving this prestigious accreditation in 1994, the company has solidified its reputation as a trusted provider of precise and reliable calibration services, underscoring its commitment to quality and innovation.
For over 40 years, Endress+Hauser Flow has been at the forefront of the flow measurement industry. Its success is built on advanced research, state-of-the-art manufacturing, and a strong emphasis on calibration. Calibration ensures that every flowmeter performs accurately, meeting the technical specifications set by the manufacturer.
The ISO/IEC 17025 standard is a cornerstone of the company’s calibration excellence. This globally recognized certification confirms that laboratories meet strict requirements for technical expertise and quality management. It guarantees the accuracy and reliability of calibration results, which are critical for customers worldwide.
Endress+Hauser Flow first earned ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation in 1994 for its facilities in Reinach, Switzerland, and Cernay, France. This achievement was made possible through the efforts of a dedicated team and partnerships with National Metrology Institutes in Switzerland (METAS) and Germany (PTB), as well as the Swiss Accreditation Service (SAS). Over the years, the company has expanded its network of accredited calibration centers to include locations in the USA, India, China, and Brazil, all adhering to the same high standards.
The benefits of ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation are far-reaching. It demonstrates a laboratory’s competence, facilitates international trade, and ensures that calibration certificates are recognized globally. This is supported by the company’s affiliations with the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) and the ILAC Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA).
Today, Endress+Hauser Flow operates nearly 90 stationary and over 50 mobile calibration rigs across more than 40 countries. These facilities are accredited by leading national bodies, including INMETRO (Brazil), A2LA (USA), DAkkS (Germany), NABL (India), and CNAS (China). They cover a wide range of parameters, such as flow rate, density, temperature, and pressure. The mobile calibration rigs are particularly valuable, offering customers flexible and efficient support throughout the lifecycle of their instruments.
Looking to the future, Endress+Hauser Flow is focused on innovation and digitalization. The company is developing Digital Calibration Certificates (DCC), which provide machine-readable data for enhanced traceability and efficiency. These efforts, combined with regular re-accreditation audits, ensure that the company remains a leader in the calibration industry.
As demand for accredited calibration services grows, driven by customers’ need for stringent quality standards, Endress+Hauser Flow reaffirms its commitment to excellence. Through its ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation framework, the company continues to deliver the highest level of quality, ensuring precision and reliability for its customers worldwide.
