ALLOMETRICS
“Allometrics” as used herein is defined as Allometrics, Inc.
INFORMATION REQUIRED FOR ACCREDITED CALIBRATION SERVICES
The following information is required to be provided by the Customer for accredited calibration services:
a) The equipment to be calibrated and the specifications used must be identified by the Customer.
In the event that Allometrics is not provided the information necessary to determine if Allometrics’ capabilities will meet all of the Customers’ contracted specifications, Allometrics’ technical personnel will evaluate such requirements upon the site visit and inform Customer of any concerns.
b) The Calibration Interval.
c) The Method of calibration.
When testing methods are not specified, Allometrics will choose applicable test methods based off of published standards and industry accepted methods. In an event that Allometrics uses a method developed by Allometrics, the Customer will be informed of such.
d) The Level of Service.
Where the level of service to be performed is to ISO 17025 or any other Standard, the equipment that falls under such obligations shall be individually labeled as such.
CALIBRATION W/OUT CUSTOMER‐PROVIDED TOLERANCES AND PASS/FAIL DETERMINATIONS
If the Customer does not supply specific tolerances, specifications, or acceptance criteria prior to or at the time of service, the Company will, by default, report calibration results as raw measurement data only, without rendering a pass/fail judgment.
In the absence of Customer‐supplied tolerances, any pass/fail determination that is requested or provided shall be based on one or more of the following, at the Company’s sole discretion:
-
Manufacturer‐published specifications (if reasonably available),
-
Industry‐accepted references or guidance documents,
-
Internally developed limits based on prior calibrations of similar equipment,
-
Professional judgment reflecting observed conditions and the Company’s technical understanding of the instrument.
Any such pass/fail assessment will be provided for informational reference only, and the basis for the applied criteria will be noted in the calibration report where feasible.
The Company makes no representation or warranty that such criteria are appropriate, sufficient, or acceptable for the Customer’s regulatory, quality system, or operational requirements.
When an instrument is calibrated in its as‐found condition and no tolerances have been provided, the Company will report results as observed. Pass/fail determinations will only be included if:
-
Tolerances are clearly defined by the Customer in advance, or
-
The Customer explicitly requests the Company to assign criteria, in which case the above guidance applies.
It is the Customer’s sole responsibility to:
-
Provide tolerances or acceptance criteria appropriate to their use case,
-
Review all calibration results (including as‐found data) in the context of their own standards,
-
Confirm the suitability of any pass/fail status rendered without provided tolerances.
The Company expressly disclaims any liability for misuse or misinterpretation of results, or for any consequences arising from reliance on pass/fail determinations where tolerances were not Customer‐supplied or contractually agreed upon in advance.
