Topic Group:	Accreditation in Dimensional Metrology Panel I

Abstract:	This abstract primary purpose it to identify the issues uncovered from accredited laboratories from an assessor's perspective. As most commerical labs have vast resources to obtain calibration procedures from, there seems to be issues with consistency between different labs. Send a micrometer out for calibration to two different laboratories and there is a good chance that the results will be different. The consumer asks the simple question...aren't both of these labs accredited to do the same thing? Then why the different results? Further discussion will include selection of methods from ISO-17025 and ANSI Z540-1 with respect to the requirements of accreditation bodies.
