Difference between application of this ISO for calibration labs and testing labs

As calibration laboratories provide service to testing laboratories to calibrate equipment, they have specific requirements in terms of their own equipment performance, measurement uncertainty and metrological traceability of their methods to national and international standards. They also have specific report requirements. Depending on the type of calibration performed, for example Volume or Humidity, calibration laboratories have to meet specific requirements of the accreditation body for that program. This involves submitting measurement of uncertainty budgets and calculations of method capability. Personnel responsible for releasing results in a calibration laboratory may also need to have a particular qualification or certification.
