METHOD OF CALIBRATION / VERIFICATION

The Direct verification of the machine detailed above was made using calibrated force, linear
glass scale and a stopwatch with a calibrated time base. The series of measurements was in accordance
with the standards given above to a proceedure agreed by UKAS.

The reported uncertainties of measurement are based on a standard uncertainty multiplied by a

coverage factor k, providing a level of confidance of approximately 95%.
The Uncertainty evaluation has been carried out in accordance with UKAS requirements.
This certificate is issued in accordance with the laboratory accredition requirements of the
United Kingdom Accreditation Service. It provides traceabilty of measurement to the SI system
of units and/or to units of measurement realised at the National Physical Laboratory or
other recognised national metrology institutes. This certificate may not be reproduced other
than in full, except with the prior written approval of the issuing laboratory.

METHOD OF CALIBRATION / VERIFICATION

The above Rockwell hardness testing machine has been indirectly verified to the standard requirements of
ASTM E18.

The hardness tests were made using certified indenters. Certified hardness reference blocks were also
used. The serial numbers and assigned hardness values of the reference blocks together with the
measurements obtained are given in the table on page 2 of this certificate.

A direct verification was carried out to ASTM E18. Reference certificate number 12345
Dated :- 10 August 2017

Note! This indirect certificate becomes invalid if an indenter other than one certified by a BS EN ISO 17025
accedited laboratory is used.

The reported uncertainties of measurement are based on a standard uncertainty multiplied by a

coverage factor k, providing a level of confidance of approximately 95%.
The Uncertainty evaluation has been carried out in accordance with UKAS requirements.
This certificate is issued in accordance with the laboratory accredition requirements of the
United Kingdom Accreditation Service. It provides traceabilty of measurement to the SI system
of units and/or to units of measurement realised at the National Physical Laboratory or
other recognised national metrology institutes. This certificate may not be reproduced other
