Instrument Systems expands on-site testing capabilities

German display test equipment maker Instrument Systems has expanded its capabilities to test and certify equipment at the location where it is being used.

According to the Munich-based company, it is now able to offer ISO 17025 compliant illuminance testing at the installation sites of its big AMS and LGS goniophotometer light measurement systems.

Previously, on-site testing for ISO 17025 certification only applied for its DMS display measurement systems, Instrument Systems said.

According to Instrument Systems, the new capability test equipment at the installation site will allow “customers a nearly uninterrupted operation of their large systems, which are often continuously in use for quality control and COP testing,” Instrument Systems said.

The new testing capability came about after Germany’s national accreditation body (DakkS) extended Instrument Systems’ accreditation.

Under the accreditation, Instrument Systems’ customers can now receive an ISO 17025 compliant test certificate for the DSP 200 and DSP 10 photometers, even if they are tested and adjusted at their site of operation.

“This means only a minimal interruption of operation of the often continuously run quality controls and COP tests, as it is no longer necessary to dismantle the equipment and send it to Instrument Systems,” the company said in a statement.
