ongoing activities. The visit started

The MINDEF Calibration Centre was
started in 1979 as a calibration cell
and is ISO9001 & 9002, and BSEN
ISO/IEC17025 Guide 25 accredited. The
Calibration Centre has about 22
personnel and serves primarily the RBAF
and other government departments. The
Calibration Centre does the maintenance
and repair of high-tech equipment for
the RBAF.
The Calibration Centre provides the link
between the traceability of the
international standards and the
equipment used by the RBAF. The
calibration Centre has traceability to
national laboratories such as NIST
(USA), NPL (UK), NML (Australia) and PTB
(Germany). Only national laboratories
with agreements with the International
Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM)
are used for traceability. |
