(Keithley Instruments Inc.: Cleveland) -- The metrology services organization at Keithley Instruments Inc., a provider of advanced electrical test instruments and systems, has expanded the scope of its ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation with the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA).

Keithley’s accredited calibrations now include customer-site calibrations that involve DC voltages from 0 to 200 volts and DC currents from 0 to 1 ampere. This expanded scope now allows Keithley to offer accredited calibrations of its Model 4200-SCS Semiconductor Characterization System, which is capable of measuring and sourcing currents with femtoamp resolution.

Keithley’s metrology laboratory has been an A2LA-accredited calibration facility since 2006, when it was first accredited in accordance with the international standard ISO/IEC 17025—"General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories."

The company’s German service center was accredited by A2LA in 2007. This accreditation assures Keithley customers that their instruments are being calibrated to the highest industry standards, so they can continue to deliver consistent, quality measurements. Routine calibrations help prevent unplanned downtime and costly quality problems.
