ISO-Authorized Laboratory
We provide:
Regular calibration of spectrophotometers is essential in order to
meet the high demands of your clients for reliability and reproducibility
of optical measurements.
■ reference papers for calibrating reflectance and fluorescence
FPInnovations’ Optics Laboratory has over 35 years of experience in
the field of optical calibration and is one of only four ISO-Authorized
laboratories worldwide for issuing IR3 Standards for measuring ISO
brightness, whiteness, and colour, according to ISO 2469, 2470-1,
and 11475. We also provide consultation and diagnostic materials
for resolving colorimetric problems. We actively pursue technical
innovations in this field and contribute to the development of ISO
Standards.
The scope of the ISO brightness Standard (ISO 2470-1) has been
expanded to include fluorescent papers. Accordingly, our IR3
Standards are provided in a package comprising two types of paper
tabs, for reflectance calibration and UV adjustment for fluorescence
measurement, respectively, and include a calibration certificate. We
also can supply, for Elrepho instruments, the calibration values on a
CD. The Standards are traceable to the National Research Council
(NRC) standardizing laboratory in Canada. Thus, they conform to
ISO 9001 quality management requirements.
Subscription to this program is available on a monthly, bimonthly, or
quarterly basis. Payment can be made by VISA or MASTERCARD,
or by wire transfer. The IR3 Standards are generally shipped by
registered mail. Courrier service can also be used, if requested.
