 Acceptance of Calibration Certificates

The use of the CIPM MRA logo is issued under the authority and with the permission of the BIPM. By placing the logo on a calibration certificate, NSAI NML is indicating that the calibration falls within NSAI NML’s calibration and measurement capabilities (CMCs) published under the CIPM MRA. A certificate issued by a laboratory under the CIPM MRA can be accepted by assessors from Conformity Assessment Bodes with the highest level of confidence.
