Sper Scientific Certification Information



Purpose of the Program:  There is an increasing requirement by customers for documentation supporting manufacturer's claim of accuracy on their scientific equipment. This is partially due to the increasing acceptance of quality standards such as ISO 9000* and GMP**, which require that periodic certification of test equipment be performed and documented. We at Sper Scientific believe this trend is highly justified, support it, and wish to enable our distributors to do likewise. To help, we have instituted this program of certification. Most testing is done in house with our own state-of-the-art equipment. Whenever possible and practical we use NIST traceable equipment and NIST procedures. 

*ISO 9002 1987 (E) Section 4.10
**FDA Good Manufacturing Practices Section 820.61

To Order

If ordering using the "Order Online" button, select the Certified product found near the bottom of the web page.  If ordering using email or by phone, simply add the suffix "C" to the regular catalog number. For example, Timer 810026 becomes 810026C in its certified version.

Delivery

Allow 10 to 13 business days for product certification and order processing. If you request ground delivery, it may be 3 to 4 weeks before your order arrives. If you require the certified product by a specific date, include this information in the "Comments" field during checkout and use an expedited shipping option for the quickest delivery.  We will do our best to meet your deadline.

Complete Documentation

Each certified product comes with:

  1. A serial number

  2. A calibration of certification label

  3. One of three certificates attached to the box. The type of certificate varies by product:

    • "Certificate of Compliance" - Specifies that the product has been tested and found to be within its stated tolerance for accuracy.

    • "Certificate of Calibration" - Similar to above but for products which can be adjusted to the standard they are tested against.

    • "Certificate Traceable to NIST" - Specifies that the standards against which the product has been certified or calibrated were themselves calibrated by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), or with NIST calibrated equipment under conditions specified by NIST.
