Endress+Hauser Flow has achieved 30 years of accreditation under ISO/IEC 17025, reinforcing its expertise in flow measurement calibration and its commitment to global industry standards. Since first receiving accreditation in 1994, the company has expanded its calibration capabilities worldwide, ensuring precision and compliance for industrial flow measurement applications.
Advancing Calibration Standards for Industrial Flow Measurement
Endress+Hauser Flow has played a key role in advancing flow measurement technology for over 40 years. Calibration remains one of the most critical aspects of this expertise, ensuring that each flowmeter meets the required metrological performance and technical specifications.
ISO/IEC 17025 provides a globally recognized framework for verifying calibration laboratories’ technical competence, ensuring accuracy and consistency in measurement results. Compliance with this standard enables laboratories to meet stringent industry and regulatory requirements while fostering harmonization across global calibration practices.
Achieving its first accreditation in 1994, Endress+Hauser Flow has since expanded its accredited calibration facilities beyond its initial locations in Reinach, Switzerland, and Cernay, France. Today, the company operates calibration centers in the United States, India, China, and Brazil, alongside an extensive network of accredited mobile calibration rigs.
Global Calibration Network and International Recognition
Endress+Hauser Flow’s calibration facilities include nearly 90 stationary and over 50 mobile flow calibration rigs, distributed across more than 40 countries. Each of these laboratories is accredited under ISO/IEC 17025 by national accreditation bodies such as INMETRO (Brazil), A2LA (USA), DAkkS (Germany), NABL (India), and CNAS (China).
ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation ensures that calibration services are internationally recognized through the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation (ILAC) Mutual Recognition Agreement (MRA). This enables Endress+Hauser Flow to provide globally comparable calibration certificates, supporting customers in industries where traceability and compliance are critical.
Mobile calibration rigs play a significant role in this network, providing on-site services that minimize downtime and improve calibration response times while maintaining low uncertainty levels.
Digitalization and the Future of Calibration
Looking ahead, Endress+Hauser Flow is advancing its calibration processes with digitalization initiatives. These efforts include:
- Expanding the ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation scope to cover additional measurable parameters and further reduce calibration uncertainties.
- Implementing Digital Calibration Certificates (DCCs) to streamline result management through direct machine-readable data.
- Enhancing sustainability in calibration workflows by optimizing processes to reduce environmental impact.
Endress+Hauser Flow remains committed to continuous improvement, aligning its global calibration strategy with ISO/IEC 17025 requirements and evolving industry needs.
