Hi, Z540-1 1994 (R2002) will not be reissued or reaffirmed. Z540-3 2006 fills the need for a current national calibration system standard. I expect cal labs that are also accredited to Z540-1, will have the Z540 component of their checklists changed over the next couple years. Download ANSI/NCSL Z540.3-2006 pdf $.

In the United States, there are two sets of accreditation standards for calibration laboratories. ANSI Z540 is shorthand for one of them. Calibration laboratories test measurement and testing equipment and control instruments for diagnostic and standards compliance purposes.

From 1994 to 2000, U.S. national standards for calibration laboratory accreditation were set out in the American National Standards Institute standard, ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994, “Calibration Laboratories and Measuring and Testing Equipment – General Requirements.' These standards have been updated twice since 2000. The current standard is ANSI/NCSL Z540-3-2006. In common usage, this standard is often shortened to ANSI Z540 or NCSL Z540. ANSI developed ANSI Z540 in collaboration with NCSL, the National Conference of Standards Laboratories.
ISO/IEC 17025
In 2000, ANSI adopted ISO/IEC 17025, a set of international laboratory calibration accreditation standards. These were developed by the International Standardization Organization and the International Electrotechnical Commission. ISO/IEC 17025 was revised in 2005 to address stricter quality management requirements.
Two Standards
U.S. Free abstract powerpoint templates. calibration laboratories can be accredited as ANSI/NCSL Z540 compliant, ISO/IEC 17025 compliant or both. The choice largely depends on the requirements of laboratory clients.

This National Standard establishes the technical requirements for the calibration of measuring and test equipment. This is done through the use of a system of functional components. Collectively, these components are used to manage and assure that the accuracy and reliability of the measuring and test equipment are in accordance with identified performance requirements. In implementing its objective, this National Standard describes the technical requirements for establishing and maintaining: - the acceptability of the performance of measuring and test equipment; - the suitability of a calibration for its intended application; - the compatibility of measurements with the National Measurement System; and - the traceability of measurement results to the International System of Units (SI). In the development of this National Standard attention has been given to: - expressing the technical requirements for a calibration system supporting both government and industry needs; - applying best practices and experience with related national, international, industry, and government standards; and - balancing the needs and interests of all stakeholders. In addition, this National Standard includes and updates the relevant calibration system requirements for measuring and test equipment described by the previous standards, Part II of ANSI/NCSL Z540.1-1994 (R2002) and Military Standard 45662A. This National Standard is written for both Supplier and Customer, each term being interpreted in the broadest sense. The 'Supplier' may be a producer, distributor, vendor, or a provider of a product, service, or information. The 'Customer' may be a consumer, client, end-user, retailer, or purchaser that receives a product or service.
