ISO/IEC 17025 Accredited Calibration for Keithley Instruments
SIMCO offers ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration services for applicable Keithley instruments, measurement ranges, and parameters.
Accredited calibration may include:
- As-found and as-left measurement data
- Documented measurement uncertainty
- Traceability to the International System of Units through national metrology institutes such as NIST or other recognized reference standards
- Pass/fail statements, where applicable
- Calibration documentation to support audits, compliance activities, and quality-management requirements
Accredited calibration is often required when electrical measurements directly affect product acceptance, product validation, semiconductor characterization, regulated manufacturing, research, or customer quality requirements.
Why Calibrate Keithley Equipment?
Keithley instruments are commonly used for precision electrical measurements ranging from conventional voltage, current, and resistance measurements to very low currents and semiconductor I-V characterization.
Over time, normal use, environmental exposure, transportation, component aging, handling, and other factors can affect instrument performance.
Without routine calibration, inaccurate measurements can contribute to:
- Product quality issues
- Incorrect characterization results
- Process deviations
- Incorrect engineering or troubleshooting decisions
- Compliance risk
- Increased measurement uncertainty
- False acceptance or false rejection of products or processes
- Reduced confidence in research or validation results
Routine calibration helps verify that Keithley instruments continue to perform within applicable specifications and remain suitable for their intended use.
For quality-driven organizations, accredited calibration also provides objective evidence of traceability, technical competence, and documented uncertainty to support customer requirements, internal quality systems, and regulatory expectations.
