Coherent Dieburg Facility Achieves ISO/IEC 17025 Certification

Date Announced: 16 Aug 2013

Certification seen as valuable for medical, military and aerospace applications.

Santa Clara, Calif., August 16, 2013 – The Coherent Inc. (Santa Clara, CA) (Nasdaq: COHR) laser power and energy calibration laboratory located in Dieburg, Germany, has now been added to the company’s ISO/IEC 17025:2005 certificate of accreditation.

Coherent originally became the first major, commercial manufacturer of laser power and energy measurement instruments to achieve to ISO/IEC 17025:2005 for its Wilsonville, Oregon, calibration laboratory in May, 2012. The scope of accreditation applies to the company’s portfolio of pyroelectric laser energy sensors, thermopile laser power sensors, and meter electronics.

ISO 17025 certification is a formal recognition that a calibration laboratory is using valid and appropriate methods and is competent to carry out specified tests or calibrations.

This certification is especially valuable to organizations in government regulated industries (such as medical, military and aerospace) where system builders must document the traceability and performance accuracy of their own products.

Additionally, since Coherent has been independently verified through ACLASS, a brand of the ANSI-ASQ National Accreditation Board, and recognized internationally by ILAC, APLAC and IAAC, this certification will often eliminate the need for customers to perform costly and time consuming supplier auditing.
