Accreditation Table.

AEP transducers Metrological laboratory, a calibration centre for FORCE, PRESSURE and TORQUE, is a member of SIT, “Italian Calibration Service” since 1996, issuing over 10.000 certificates acknowledged by the countries that signed the multilateral agreement of European co-operation for the Accreditation (EA).

The accreditation was given by SIT appraising the internal organization of the laboratory, the technical competence of its staff and the results of experimental comparisons (AUDIT) with national samples belonging the Metrological Research National Institute I.N.RI.M.

To achieve this reputable target, the Company gave the Metrological Laboratory an organization that currently works in compliance with UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC 17025 and the requirements imposed by SIT.

Quality policy pursued by AEP General management underlines the technical staff’s effort to:

	Support industrial activities devoted to the qualification and maintenance of the Quality system in accordance with UNI ENI ISO 9001 standard.
	Cooperate with Clients about the determination of uncertainties of their own samples.
	Keep a high level of competence and privacy about offered services.

Calibrations are performed according to procedures accredited by SIT, in accordance with the following international standards and recommendations:

OIML R 60

ISO 376

ASTM E 74

EA 10/17

EA 10/14

UNI EN 26789

Using the following first and second line samples to generate force, pressure and torque respectively:

Dead-weights force samples automatic machines.

Comparator force samples automatic machines.

Pressure balances in liquid medium (dead-weight pressure generators).

Pressure balances and transducers in gaseous medium.

Dead-weight torque benchs whit air bearing.

Comparator torque samples machines.

The laboratory can issue certifications of calibration for the following instrumentation:

	LOAD CELLS.
	DYNAMOMETERS.
	PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS and TRANSMITTERS.
	PRESSURE GAUGES.
	TORQUE TRANSDUCERS.
	INDICATING TORQUE TOOLS and SETTING TORQUE TOOLS.

Laboratory activities.

Besides activities dealing with SIT, the technical staff cooperates with the personnel at National Primary Metrological Institute for what concerns metrology applied to transfer samples, participates to national and international interlaboratory comparisons and supports the development of technical standards about products.

Thanks to its know-how, achieved in these years of active experience, technical staff offers its competence in several activities such as:

Cooperating with Clients in the designing of proper accessories, suggesting the most appropriate improving applications to fulfil customers’ needs.

	Training the technical operators who will perform the measurements by making the due corrections indicated on the calibration certificates.
	Managing and monitoring the instrumentation employed in productive sectors at Issuing reports of calibrations according to internal procedures, granting the traceability of measurements.
