Terms & Conditions
Johnson Gage and Inspection, Inc. will accept orders for inspection, calibration, and/or repair subject to the following terms and conditions:
​
-
Where statements of compliance are made, the measurement uncertainty will not be taken into account unless otherwise directed by the customer.
-
The customer shall specify the scope of all work we perform including, but not limited to calibration method, tolerance, and calibration interval. Where these aren’t specified, we will use a manufacturer guideline, published specification, or a relevant in-house developed procedure, whichever is the most suitable. Where these offer no guidance on calibration interval, an annual interval will be assigned.
-
Where possible, we will issue ISO/IEC 17025 accredited calibration reports which include measurement results and associated uncertainties, except where the customer has indicated an alternate preference. Where measurements required do not fall within our scope of accreditation, we will provide traceable calibration reports.
-
When the work to be performed is outside of JGI capabilities, the work may be outsourced or returned to the customer, based on precedent established by previous customer guidance. If there is none, JG&I will make an attempt to contact the customer for instructions before returning the order “no work performed.”
-
If Items are not sufficiently marked or serialized, JG&I may assign temporary labels with recommended serializations, so that individual calibration records can be distinctly correlated to individual items. We will do so without damaging or permanently marking the items in any way.
