30 years of accredited calibrations

Endress+Hauser Flow’s calibration laboratory has been accredited in compliance with ISO/IEC 17205 since 1994. From this moment onwards, the flowmeter manufacturer has not only reinforced its capabilities and core competences but has also confirmed its position as a market leader consistently providing services of excellence.

Endress+Hauser Flow has been a global leader in flow measurement for over 40 years, combining expertise in research, development, and efficient production to create innovative solutions. Calibration is a key discipline ensuring the accuracy of flowmeters according to manufacturers' specifications.

Demonstrating competence is one of the most crucial factors supporting the credibility of calibration laboratories. ISO/IEC 17025, a widely recognised standard, ensures the competence and reliability of calibration laboratories, fostering global quality standard harmonization and ensuring accurate calibration results.

Endress+Hauser Flow received its first ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation in 1994 for its flow measurement centres in Reinach (Switzerland) and Cernay (France), marking the start of a successful 30-year calibration journey. This achievement was supported by collaboration with the National Metrology Institutes of Switzerland (METAS) and Germany (PTB), and the Swiss Accreditation Service (SAS). Over the years, additional product centres in the USA, India, China, and Brazil were established with calibration facilities. As part of its global strategy, Endress+Hauser Flow has focused on achieving ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation for all its flow calibration labs to demonstrate excellence and build customer trust.

ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation confirms a laboratory's competence and harmonizes its services, helping overcome global trade barriers. Accreditation is monitored by national bodies, which are often part of the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) and signatories to the ILAC Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA). This provides the key advantage of international recognition and comparability of calibration certificates.

Endress+Hauser Group's global calibration network includes nearly 90 stationary and over 50 mobile flow calibration rigs across more than 40 countries. These labs are ISO/IEC 17025 accredited by national bodies such as INMETRO (Brazil), A2LA (USA), and DAkkS (Germany). The accreditations cover flow rate, density, and sometimes temperature and pressure. Mobile rigs are key to providing agile, rapid, and reliable on-site calibration services, aligning with the company's strategic vision to ensure low uncertainty throughout the instrument's lifecycle.

Endress+Hauser Flow is focused on optimizing calibration processes, improving sustainability, and advancing digitalization, all while fulfilling ISO/IEC 17025 requirements. Periodic re-accreditation audits allow the company to demonstrate the excellence of its services. The company aims to expand the scope of its ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation by reducing measurement uncertainties and simplifying traceability to national standards. Digital Calibration Certificates (DCC) and other digital efforts align with these standards. The growing demand for accredited calibrations, driven by customer quality requirements, reinforces the company’s commitment to providing high-quality calibration services.
