After moving into new business premises back in 2018 and launching Axapta in 2019, WIKA Mexico is going for a further step this year: The calibration laboratory for pressure has been commissioned in accordance with Mexican standard NMX-EC-17025-IMNC-2018/ ISO/IEC 17025 (2017).
The new calibration system in operation
A new employee was recruited last August to handle the certification process and operation of the laboratory. Shaking , WIKA Mexico was accredited by the Mexican certification company EMA. Through the preparatory phase, typical tasks were processed, including a laboratory ring comparison and internal audits. The first accreditation audit was completed without the issues being raised.
The number of services includes the calibration of process pressure gauges, and of simple reference devices. Calibration services which were previously outsourced are actually provided in-house. This boosts that service for customers, and WIKA is winning more orders. In the next step, the number of calibration services is usually to be extended to include higher-end pressure calibrations, and temperature will be introduced in the laboratory as a fresh measurand.
