The Buehler Wilson Reference Block Laboratory in Binghamton, NY/USA, was recently granted an expansion of its accreditation by the American Association for Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA). Previously covering hardness reference blocks for Rockwell and Brinell testing according to ASTM and ISO, and Vickers and Knoop testing according to ASTM, the accreditation now also encompasses the production of reference blocks for hardness testing to Vickers and Brinell in accordance with ISO/IEC 17025. Buehler markets these reference blocks globally in conjunction with its Wilson range of hardness testers and the DiaMetTM software, but also for use with third-party machines.
