For many years, BABBCO has been carrying out metrological operations on its range of radio-photometers for the NDT and medical markets. We are now reinforcing our UV-A radiometer calibration services with NF EN ISO / IEC 17025 :2017 accreditation. This third-party recognition is proof of the technical competencies of our laboratory and of the smooth operation of an appropriate management system.

BABBCO’s laboratory is accredited by the Comité Français d'Accréditation (COFRAC) for its ability to measure UV-A 365nm radiation. COFRAC issued BABBCO with accreditation number 2-7199 on the 13th of July 2023 in accordance with the requirements of NF EN ISO/IEC 17025 :2017. The international standard NF EN ISO/IEC 17025:2017 is the benchmark for assessing the competence and impartiality of laboratories. It is particularly demanding because it combines strict quality management requirements with high technical and metrological requirements.

To obtain this accreditation, BABBCO was audited to assess its quality systems applied to customer service, customer support, logistics and, above all, the metrology department on its brand new UV-A test bench, which was recently put into operation.

Accredited bodies must undergo a rigorous process. Their skills are then certified by an accreditation system against the standards, reference systems or regulations in force. In order to obtain this accreditation, the BABBCO laboratory underwent a rigorous independent audit conducted by a team of specialist assessors:

• On the quality side, by a quality assessor;
• On the technical side, by a recognized technical expert in the field of measurement.

This accreditation is a guarantee of compliance, documentary quality and operational excellence.

This accreditation guarantees long-term reliability and impartiality through regular assessments and observations, and thus a high level of trust in the services provided. It also provides a common frame of reference and genuine recognition by complying with international requirements and standards.

In France, COFRAC is the government-recognised body responsible for issuing accreditations following assessment and validation of the application. The audits carried out by COFRAC officially certify BABBCO's independence and competence for a 4-year period. This accreditation is reviewed every year with a new audit.

It enables the company receiving this service to have all the metrological work validated upstream by COFRAC. It also enables us to meet the various requirements of our service provider customers who are involved in specialized operations on sensitive sites.
