The Accredited Calibration:

•    Includes an ISO 17025 accredited ISO 10360 calibration certificate indicating: meets / does not meet original factory specifications.
•    Report includes both As Found and As Left data.
•    The applied decision rule includes the calculated measurement uncertainty.

The Standard Calibration:

•    Includes an ISO 10360 calibration certificate indicating: meets / does not meet original factory specifications.
•    Does NOT include an ISO 17025 Accredited Calibration or As-Found data

The Accredited Complete Calibration comes with the “As Found” Data – this is when the technician checks to see how the machine is running prior to making any adjustments at all and runs a report. 
This can then be compared with the “As Left” Data to see where the machine was at before the technician got there, to where it is after they have made accuracy adjustments.
