New edition of the Declaration of Equivalence (DoE) between NIST and VSL
VSL digital calibration certificates
Up to now, VSL has provided its customers with paper certificates and reports. The digital provision of these documents fits better to the current social needs and requirements, but also has several important other advantages. VSL assures optimal quality of your measurement data.
Measurement of ultraviolet (UV) radiation for disinfection applications
UV-C radiation has recently received widespread attention from the general public, since it can be used to disinfect surfaces potentially contaminated by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, which causes the coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Though UV-C light sources have already been used for disinfection for a
Update: Humidity laboratory
Our new metrologist is making good progress in obtaining his qualification. We expect to be able to provide our humidity calibrations around April 2020.
Update: Temperature laboratory
We can now offer a limited range of calibrations:
First results of flow meters calibrated in cryogenic conditions
VSL’s LNG Research and Calibration facility has delivered its first SI-traceable LNG flow meter calibrations results. A total of six flow meters from five leading flow meter manufacturers were calibrated in the test facility using liquid nitrogen.
Declaration of Equivalence
VSL, the Dutch Metrology Institute, and NIST, the American National Institute of Standards and Technology, are happy to announce the official signing of a new edition of our Declaration of Equivalence, by means of which both institutes recognize the equivalence of Primary Reference Materials prod
Humidity laboratory
A key staff member has recently left VSL and due to this we are not able to calibrate humidity instruments until the second quarter of 2020. A new staff member is currently being trained in this area.
Temperature laboratory
At the end of 2018, the VSL Temperature and Humidity laboratories were moved to different locations within the Metrology Tower building. Unfortunately, due to unexpected laboratory conditions, the opening of the Temperature laboratory got delayed.
VSL at the International Conference on Mercury as a Global Pollutant
Preceding the 14th International Conference on Mercury as a Global Pollutant (ICMGP 2019) (8 – 13 September 2019, Krakow, Poland) VSL and partners host an expert workshop “Comparability of mercury measurements in air” (Sunday 7 September 2019 13:00 – 15:30).
