BCC ISO/IEC 17025:2017 Accreditation
Celebrating World Accreditation Day: Our ISO/IEC 17025 Reaccreditation and Why It Matters
June 9th marks World Accreditation Day, a global initiative highlighting accreditation’s critical role in assuring confidence in quality and competence across industries. For us at Bio Calibration Company, it’s more than just a date on the calendar—it’s a celebration of our recent ISO/IEC 17025:2017 reaccreditation. This milestone reflects technical compliance and our deep commitment to excellence, improvement, and trust.
In this reaccreditation audit, Bio Calibration Company is proud to have the following measurements added to our calibration scope of capabilities: pH meters, Temperature Calibration, Piston Operated Volumetric Apparatus (pipettes, dispensers, burettes, dilutors, and syringes), Rate of Rotation, and Time Measurements.
We have updated and added equipment to our list of capabilities. We have also improved our measurement uncertainties in all areas. We are happy to provide improved measurement capabilities to our customers in the future!
Here is a list of our new capabilities that will be published on our new scope soon:
Notice how our Piston-Operated Volumetric Apparatus uncertainties are in compliance with ISO TR-20461:2023, Determination of uncertainty for volume measurements of a piston-operated volumetric apparatus using a gravimetric method.
What ISO/IEC 17025 Calibration Means to Us
ISO/IEC 17025:2017 is the international standard for testing and calibration laboratories. It ensures that laboratories are technically competent in producing valid and reliable results. This standard applies directly to calibration activities, which include method validation, proficiency testing (PT), internal quality controls, and everything in between.
Our reaccreditation process covered two major dimensions:
We’re proud to say we passed with flying colors, but it wasn’t without effort or scrutiny. Our reaccreditation assessment lasted three days. The auditor reviewed our systems and processes in detail and praised our team’s professionalism, preparedness, and technical know-how.
How Accreditation Drives Improvement
One of the biggest misconceptions about ISO/IEC: 17025:2017 is that it’s all about compliance. It’s a catalyst for continuous improvement. Here’s how it helps us elevate our game:
What’s the result of all this hard work? Our scope of accreditation gets updated, and we can proudly display our accrediting body’s logo on our certificates, a mark of trust for customers and partners alike.
Why ISO 17025 Accreditation Matters Beyond Our Lab
Accreditation is an inside term, but its impact is global. It truly matters.
Our specific accreditation supports medical device companies, pharmaceutical firms, and hospital industries where precision is not optional. It’s critical.
A Positive Partnership with Our Accrediting Body
Let’s face it: no one loves being audited. But we’ve built a strong, mutually respectful relationship with our accrediting organization over the years. Why? They challenge us and hold us accountable. Every audit, assessment, and follow-up strengthens our systems and expands our capabilities. This is why we love working with PJLA: www.pjlabs.com
Final Thoughts: Accreditation Is More Than a Certificate
On this World Accreditation Day, we celebrate not just our reaccreditation but what it represents:
Bio Calibration Company is proud to have an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accreditation, but we want people to know what it truly means to be an ISO/IEC 17025:2017 accredited calibration provider. We’re in it because every calibration we do impacts something real—whether that’s a fuel pump in a small-town gas station or a medical device in a high-stakes surgical suite.
To our team: thank you for the effort, precision, and pride you bring to the lab every day.
To our clients: your trust drives us to keep raising the bar.
To our accrediting body: we see you as partners in progress.
Here’s to another cycle of improvement, innovation, and impact.
Happy World Accreditation Day,
Bio Calibration Company
