ITC maintains quality systems in place to ensure the services we provide are performed correctly, to the highest calibre, with fully traceable equipment. Our certifications and accreditation come from some of the most respected organizations in the world.
ISO 9001
ITC carries out all of our activities in compliance with the requirements of ISO 9001. We became registered to ISO 9001 in 1999 and are currently registered to ISO 9001:2015.
ISO 9001 promotes the adoption of a process approach when developing, implementing and improving the effectiveness of a quality management system, to enhance customer satisfaction by meeting customer requirements.
When used within a quality management system, such an approach emphasizes the importance of:
- understanding and meeting requirements;
- the need to consider processes in terms of added value
- obtaining results of process performance and effectiveness; and,
- continual improvement of processes based on objective measurement.

Calibration Laboratory Assessment Service (CLAS)
CLAS Scope of Calibration Capabilities – CLAS Certificate
Our Calibration Laboratory is CLAS certified and SCC accredited to ISO/IEC 17025.
CLAS is a voluntary program available to calibration laboratories seeking accreditation to ISO/IEC 17025. Accreditation ensures that a calibration laboratory has demonstrated its capabilities for specific calibrations and measurements with verified uncertainties and traceabilities to national measurement standards.
In Canada, the accreditation of calibration laboratories is the shared responsibility of the SCC and CLAS.
