What is ISO 8655?
ISO 8655 is an international standard that defines the requirements and testing methods for piston-operated volumetric instruments. These instruments include:
- Pipettes
- Burettes
- Diluters
- Dispensers
- Manual and automatic pipetting systems
By following ISO 8655, laboratories and manufacturers can ensure accuracy, reliability, and compliance with industry standards.
Benefits of ISO 8655 Compliance
1. Accuracy and Precision
ISO 8655 ensures that volumetric instruments meet specific performance standards, leading to reliable and reproducible results in lab environments.
2. Quality Assurance
The standard serves as a benchmark for manufacturers and users, helping them evaluate their equipment against internationally recognized criteria.
3. Compliance with Regulations
Many regulatory and accreditation bodies require labs to follow ISO standards. Meeting these requirements simplifies audits and ensures compliance.
4. Standardized Testing Methods
ISO 8655 outlines consistent testing procedures, making it easier to compare products from different manufacturers and select the best equipment for your needs.
5. Increased Customer Confidence
By adhering to ISO 8655, manufacturers demonstrate their commitment to quality, giving customers confidence in their instrument’s reliability.
6. Efficiency & Cost Savings
Following this standard reduces the need for additional verification or recalibration, saving labs time, effort, and resources.
7. Traceability of Measurements
ISO 8655 ensures that all measurements can be traced back to national or international standards, improving the validity of experimental data in scientific and industrial applications.
