1.4 NACLA ISO/IEC 17025 FREQUENCY

In 2005, the NACLA regulations require that full assessments to the ISO/IEC 17025 requirements must be conducted every two years; or a full assessment must be conducted every five years, with on-site visits required on an annual basis. The Nadcap Task Group Operating Procedure (NTGOP), Appendix 2 (Materials Testing), must be revised to comply with this change in requirements. Discussion concerning the Mutual Recognition Agreement with NACLA ensued, with the issue deferred to Closed Session for further discussion.

1.5 HARDNESS TESTING CHANGES/ISSUES

Bob Ellis of the David Ellis Company gave a presentation regarding the changes introduced to ASTM E 18-03 for Rockwell Hardness testing. There will be additional changes to this document this year. Over the last several years, changes have included the requirements for manufacturers of test blocks to state uncertainties, allowing the use of carbide balls while requiring proper identification of type, not mixing the use of carbide balls, blocks not certified with carbide balls, and requiring the certification of test equipment by loading parameters rather than blocks. The last item will result in improved confidence of results, but will cause the elimination of older machines. The PowerPoint presentation is attached as Attachment 1 of the minutes.
