Measurement results have a direct impact on the expected outcome of processes or quality of products manufactured. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that measurement results are reliable.
Proficiency Testing (PT) is an effective way to gauge and confirm the measurement capability of a laboratory or
quality assurance department. ISO17025 specifies that accredited laboratories and those that wish to
become accredited need to undergo PTs regularly.
NMC provides PTs that cover a wide scope of areas such as pressure, mass, temperature, electrical, optical, dimensional, time, and acoustics. In cases of special request, NMC does provide one-to-one measurement audit services. Hence, calibration, testing, R&D, and company’s in-house calibration laboratories
who are interested in the PTs, please refer to the schedule below and contact us at map@nmc.a-star.edu.sg.
