Haltermann Solutions expands its Laboratory Testing Capabilities
By Mark Overaker, Director of Manufacturing and Supply Chain
Haltermann Solutions recently completed accreditation to the ISO 17025-2005 Standard. The accreditation, awarded by the American Association of Laboratory Accreditation (A2LA), was received for several analytical procedures performed at the Houston Lab as well as its two satellite production facilities (located in Nixon, TX and Hamtramck, MI).
Though accreditation to the 17025 Standard is voluntary, Haltermann recognized the value of the accreditation for various reasons. While we have realized the increasing complexities involved with the development and production of Test and Reference fuels are demanding, we chose to meet these complexities head on in an effort to address our Customers’ needs and remain the leader in the Test and Reference fuel industry. Demonstrated proficiencies as a result of the evaluation performed by A2LA include:
technical competency when producing test data,
technical competency when performing calibrations,
precise and accurate data are applied during developmental efforts, and
precise and accurate data are reported on finished product certification – CofA’s.
Accreditation has been granted to Haltermann Solutions by A2LA for the following:

To that end, Haltermann is working diligently towards the accreditation of the following Tests and Methods:

We are committed to meet the increasing complexities and challenges that lie ahead and persevere as the leader in the Test and Reference Fuel industry for the next 50 years.
