Certification Program
About the Program:
There is an increasing requirement by customers for documentation supporting manufacturer's claims of accuracy on their scientific equipment. This is partially due to the increasing acceptance of quality standards such as ISO 9000* and GMP**, which require that periodic certification of test equipment be performed and documented. At Sper Scientific, we believe this trend is highly justified, support it, and wish to enable our distributors to do likewise. To help, we have instituted this program of certification. Most testing is done in house with our own state-of-the-art equipment. Whenever possible and practical we use N.I.S.T. traceable equipment and N.I.S.T. traceable equipment and N.I.S.T. procedures. We think you will find implementation simple, and the rewards in sales, customer satisfaction and recognition, significant.

To Order:
Simply add the suffix "C" to the regular catalog number. For example, Timer 810026 becomes 810026C in its certified version.
Delivery:
Certified products are available for the same prompt shipment we provide on all of our products.
Complete Documentation:
Each certified product comes with:
• A serial number
• A calibration or certification label
• One of three certificates
The type of certificate varies by product:
"Certificate of Compliance"
Specifies that the product has been tested and found to be within its stated tolerance for accuracy.
"Certificate of Calibration"
Similar to above but for products which can be adjusted to the standard they are tested against.
"Certificate Traceable to N.I.S.T."
Specifies that the standards against which the product has been certified or calibrated were themselves calibrated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (N.I.S.T.), or with N.I.S.T. calibrated equipment under conditions specified by N.I.S.T.
