Florida-based temperature monitoring specialists Tutela, recently awarded ISO17025 accreditation from UKAS for its commitment to excellence in its calibration processes, has now received certification for multi-point calibration.
Multi-point calibrations are undertaken when customers have time and temperature-sensitive products requiring enhanced calibration to meet strict regulatory compliance standards. This is especially relevant for the temperature controlled storage of vaccines, blood, plasma and tissue inventories.
Employing nearly 100 people, Tutela is a leading specialty provider of temperature monitoring systems to the medical and scientific sector. Tutela supplies monitoring systems to major companies such as Grifols, Gen-Probe, WuXi AppTec and Globus Medical, Inc.
The company’s successful application for ISO17025 accreditation was a key part of Tutela’s ongoing program of continual improvement, and was awarded after satisfying rigorous audits of the company’s technical competence, expertise, processes, procedures, training both on and off site.
Tim Bartholomew, CEO of Tutela, said: “ISO17025 accreditation gives clients the assurance that we uphold the highest standards in calibration services across the company and reinforces our ability to compete internationally for major contracts. The new certification allows us to undertake accredited multi-point calibrations and plays a vital role in supporting our highly regulated clients in meeting their compliance needs.”
Under the ISO17025 standard, accredited businesses such as Tutela undergo ongoing internal and external audits overseen by UKAS, which examine procedures, competencies, and good practice to maintain the UKAS Accreditation.
UKAS is the national accreditation body for the United Kingdom, appointed by government, to assess organizations that provide certification, testing, inspection, and calibration services.
