An <a href=\"http:\/\/www.iso.org\/iso\/iso_9000\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">ISO 9001 certification<\/a> is a long and arduous process as the standard is extremely detailed and covers every aspect of product manufacture, from procurement through shipping. Accurate instrument calibrations are an important part of the ISO 9001 standard, and process plants frequently plan their calibration cycle to immediately precede ISO audits.<\/p>\n<h2>WIKA Calibration Lab<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wika.com\/en-us\/calibration_services.WIKA\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">WIKA&#8217;s Calibration Lab <\/a>recently received <a href=\"http:\/\/a2la.org\/scopepdf\/3672-01.pdf?CFID=3060540&amp;CFTOKEN=4b12f88a95b95c-3D505A30-5056-A51D-2CB16A21FF3ADD08\" rel=\"external\" target=\"_blank\">ISO 17025 accreditation<\/a>.
