ISO 17034 and ISO 17025 accreditation
NPL has an extensive scope of accreditation to ISO 17034 (Reference Materials) and ISO 17025 (Calibration) awarded by UKAS (the United Kingdom Accreditation Service).
International comparisons
NPL frequently participates in international comparison exercises with other National Measurement Institutes (NMIs). These comparisons, which are organised by the Consultative Committee for Amount of Substance (CCQM) of the International Committee for Weights and Measures (CIPM), provide a robust framework to demonstrate the global comparability of gas standard mixtures and measurements.
Calibration and Measurement Capabilities
Results of the comparisons operated by the CIPM CCQM are used to compile internationally-recognised Calibration and Measurement Capabilities (CMCs).
Information regarding international comparisons and NPL's CMCs for gas analysis can be found within the BIPM Key Comparison Database.
CIPM Mutual Recognition Arrangement
Certificates for gas mixtures covered by NPL's CMCs display the logo of the Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) of the CIPM. Certificates containing this logo are mutually recognised by all NMIs who are signatories to the MRA.
