(Eastern Applied Research: Lockport, NY) -- Eastern Applied Research, a complete source of x-ray fluorescence (XRF) service and support, has recently expanded its accreditations coverage. It now includes coverage under ISO 17034 in addition to the ISO/IEC 17025 that it has maintained for decades.

Associates from the in-house standards laboratory and quality department worked through ANAB (ANSI National Accreditation Board) to add the ISO 17034 accreditation because it’s the gold standard in certified reference material (CRM) and reference material (RM) production.

The main title of ISO 17034 refers to reference material producer/providers (RMP); the specific accreditation is covered under Category A, Chemical Composition. By adding this accreditation, Eastern Applied Research is now able to certify composition standards used in the operation of XRF analyzers. The accreditation also covers procedures in creating labels, documentation, etc.
