IATF / ISO 17025 Calibration

"the certificate of calibration or test report shall include the mark of a national accreditation body" ---

I am working with Hexagon right now to clarify this. Based on their lab scope if they do an ISO 10360 or B89 with Koba, that gets the ANAB accreditation on the cert.

Am I correct on that?

If they performed either of those tests on the appropriate machines per their lab scope, it should be. Look through the entire report. Sometimes they put the ANAB logo around where the technician signs it or such. The company that does our calibrations now has the logo on the last page with all the fine print and standard/methods callouts. I have seen certs from some places that simply call out their main Cert of Accreditation/Lab Scope on the cert report as reference.

There are quite a few companies that have certs that do not meet IATF requirements. If that company is not IATF themselves, there is sometimes little that can be done. If you inform the auditor that Hexagon refuses to modify their report and that they are the only calibration option you have, the auditor has no choice but to accept it.... so long as you can prove that it is accredited just not stamped on the report. Possibly, the auditor is being too strict or interpreting it wrong. I've had that happen a few times and had to challenge findings a few times too.
