SE Laboratories, Inc. Announces New Calibration Service Offering

Leading calibration & repair services laboratory now offers the lowest cost, highest quality calibration service offering available.

Santa Clara, CA – December 01, 2004 – SE Laboratories, Inc., a minority owned business (registered at www.ccr.gov – search for “S E LABORATORIES”), recognized as Silicon Valley’s leading calibration services laboratory, announced today a new calibration service designed to reduce calibration time and associated costs. The new service – entitled a “standard calibration” – delivers quality as described in ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 17025, but reduces cost by providing the service at the customer location.
The standard calibration service provides the following:

NIST traceable calibration process that conforms to the quality system requirements of ISO 9001:2000 “Calibration and Repair of Electronic and Mechanical/Dimensional Measurement and Test Equipment”, ISO 17025 “General Requirements for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories”, and ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994.
A quick but comprehensive calibration with procedures designed to follow original equipment manufacturer’s (OEM) specifications.
SE Laboratories’ certified technicians test each piece of equipment to key system parameters to verify that the unit is within specification for those points and working properly. The points checked will be the technician’s choice and will be based on the technician’s determination to be the most critical parameters for validating system performance.
For all items found Out of Tolerance (“OOT”) at the points checked, the “Standard Calibration” will end. Customer may elect to either have the equipment Returned As Is (“RAI”), or, have an automatic upgrade to Z540 calibration with before and after OOT data being reported.
SE Laboratories’ web-based e3 calibration software manages customer equipment for all levels of calibration – standard, NIST, Z540 and/or accredited. e3 allows for scheduling of equipment pickup/delivery, field service, automatic recall for on-time calibration, retrieval of calibration certificates and data, and overall equipment database management.

Anil Singh, President of SE Laboratories, stated that, “The calibration industry has changed since the high-tech bubble burst. Many of our customers continue to be interested in the highest quality calibration programs with less price sensitivity as delivered by our accredited and Z540 services. Other customers are looking for any and all ways to save time and money. Our NIST programs have met these customers’ needs until recently. Now, our customers are demanding that calibrations be done right at their premises in the quickest and lowest cost manner. By taking advantage of SE Laboratories infrastructure built over the past twenty-five years, we have now designed a service that meets all quality requirements while providing the lowest possible price.”

Michael Burke, Director, Reliability & Quality Assurance at Silicon Image, a leader in multi-gigabit semiconductor solutions for secure transmission and storage of rich digital media, adds, “We recently selected SE Laboratories’ standard calibration service as the best to meet our needs. SE Laboratories is providing Silicon Image significant savings over other calibration lab bids while providing the service onsite at our facility. We were so impressed with SE Laboratories’ responsiveness and comprehensive calibration services that we decided to use SE Laboratories for our ESD calibration needs as well.”
