Thunder Scientific's calibration laboratory is accredited by the National Voluntary Laboratory Accreditation Program (NVLAP), (NVLAP Lab Code: 200582-0), to ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994; Part 1. Calibration services are available for Thunder's complete line of humidity generators. In addition, Thunder Scientific provides instrument calibration for virtually any humidity measurement device or dewpoint hygrometer.

Thunder Now Offers Guard Banding

What is Guard Banding?

Guard-banding is a technique to protect against incorrect statements of conformity caused by measurement uncertainty. With guard-banding the test limits are reduced in proportion to the actual measurement uncertainty. This helps reduce the False-Accept Risk of a device during calibration.

Guard Banding Levels

  • Option 1 (No additional charge): Manufacturer’s and/or user’s specifications are listed in the calibration report; measured values greater than specification are identified. No conformance decision (Pass/Fail) is made or implied.
  • Option 2 Guard Banding (Additional charges apply): Conformance decision taking the measurement uncertainty into account using ANSI/NCSL Z540.3 Handbook Method 6, with a Probability of False Accept (PFA) of less than 2%. Formula: TLPFA2% = SL – U95% x [1.04 – e (0.38*ln (TUR) - 0.54)]
  • Option 3 Guard Banding (Additional charges apply): Conformance decision taking the measurement uncertainty into account using ANSI/NSCL Z540.3 Handbook Method 5 (conservative, tighter guard band approach deducting the measurement uncertainty from the upper and lower specification limits). Formula: TL = SL - U95%
  • Option 4 Custom decision rules (Additional charges may apply): Thunder Scientific may support other customer-prescribed decision rules. Please provide details on your calibration quote so your request can be evaluated by our technical staff.
