Certificates & Recertification
All test sieves supplied by Endecotts are measured and inspected, in line with the specified standard, using sophisticated measuring equipment.
All test sieves are inspected to fully comply with either:
All Endecotts measurement apparatus is calibrated in line with specified arrangements which form part of our ISO 9001 Quality Management System – Registered with BSI, certificate No FM 24761. The calibration of our optical measuring equipment for mesh <= 10mm is carried out using glass objects which are calibrated by the ‘Physikalisch-Technische-Bundesanstalt’ (PTB), Braunschweig, Germany. The calibration of our measuring equipment for mesh > 10mm is traceable to a British calibration laboratory. The traceability to national and international standards is ensured
Compliant sieves are certified in line with ISO 3310-1 & 2 requirements.
All Endecotts test sieves are issued with a Certificate of Compliance with a unique, traceable, serial number.
Higher levels of certification, providing varying levels of measurement data, as detailed in clause 5.3.2 of ISO3310 – 1 & 2 may be specified by customers
Regularly used test sieves will eventually suffer from 'wear and tear' – which can mean inaccurate results. Sieves should therefore be re-inspected at appropriate intervals to ensure they continue to comply with their intended specification. In fact, regular Re-certification is essential if test sieves are to meet the requirements of the test sieve specification.
