Atlas Weathering Services Group Receives Reaccreditation to ISO/IEC 17025
Atlas Continues Commitment To Testing Quality and Customer Satisfaction
Atlas Weathering Services Group (AWSG), a division of Atlas Material Testing Technology LLC, a global leader in weathering testing, services and technology, today announced their reaccreditation to ISO/IEC 17025, General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories.
As the first member of the weathering industry to adopt the ISO/IEC 17025 laboratory standard in 2001, Atlas made a firm commitment to ensure accurate and repeatable test results for its customers. ISO/IEC 17025 places strong emphasis on management requirements, stresses the laboratories' obligation to identify client needs and ensures that the test methods chosen meet those needs. Atlas's recent reaccreditation of this standard in 2002 further demonstrates their dedication to providing the most efficient and effective solutions the weathering testing industry has to offer.
Prior to the adoption of this standard, various countries and regions have used laboratory quality standards such as ISO/IEC Guide 25 in the United States and EN45001 in Europe. While these standards were similar, they were not completely uniform. Atlas understands the importance of this standard to its international client base and the adoption of ISO/IEC 17025 reassures that Atlas standards will be applicable to customers around the world.
AWSG currently serves over 2,000 clients in 40 countries. Comprised of a staff of trained scientists, engineers and technicians, AWSG is providing broad expertise and an ongoing commitment toward the improvement of existing services and development of new test methods for their clients' increasingly sophisticated needs.
