(Directory of Accredited Laboratories).
Thunder Scientific is now NVLAP Accredited for On-Site Calibrations
Thunder Scientific has added to its scope of accreditation, on-site calibration of all series 2500 humidity generators. Holding true to Thunder Scientifics’ commitment to quality, all on-site calibrations are compliant to ISO/IEC 17025:2005 and ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994, Part 1 requirements.
Thunder's Calibration Laboratory field support staff will travel to your location with traceable standards for dew-point inter-comparison, pressure calibration and temperature calibration of your Model 2500 generator. Our field support staff will inspect and conduct all required maintenance on your humidity generator. Calibration reports include the NVLAP logo and laboratory code, “As Found” data, “As Left” data, and a concise statement of the method used.
Thunder's accredited on-site humidity uncertainties are the lowest commercially available. Our turn-around times are excellent and prices are very competitive.

NVLAP accreditation criteria are established in accordance with the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations (CFR, Title 15, Part 285), NVLAP Procedures and General Requirements, and encompass the requirements of ISO/IEC 17025. Accreditation is granted following successful completion of a process which includes submission of an application and payment of fees by the laboratory, an on-site assessment, resolution of any nonconformities identified during the on-site assessment, participation in proficiency testing, and technical evaluation. The accreditation is formalized through issuance of a Certificate of Accreditation and Scope of Accreditation and publicized by announcement in various government and private media.
NVLAP provides an unbiased third-party evaluation and recognition of performance, as well as expert technical guidance to upgrade laboratory performance. NVLAP accreditation signifies that a laboratory has demonstrated that it operates in accordance with NVLAP management and technical requirements pertaining to quality systems; personnel; accommodation and environment; test and calibration methods; equipment; measurement traceability; sampling; handling of test and calibration items; and test and calibration reports.
