Revol LIMS delivers automated measurement uncertainty calculation, equipment calibration lifecycle management, proficiency testing programme tracking, and built-in ISO/IEC 17025:2017, ILAC, UKAS, A2LA, and NABL compliance — in one accreditation-ready platform.
Testing and calibration laboratories accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 operate under the most technically rigorous quality management requirements of any testing sector. Three challenges define this environment:
Revol LIMS maintains configurable measurement uncertainty budgets for every test and calibration method in scope — automatically calculating combined uncertainty from component inputs and generating GUM-compliant uncertainty statements in every test report and calibration certificate.
Revol LIMS maintains a complete equipment register with calibration due-date tracking, certificate review workflows, and automated pre-due alerts — preventing out-of-calibration equipment from being used in accredited testing.
Revol LIMS manages participation in ILAC-recognised proficiency testing schemes across all accredited scopes from enrolment and sample receipt through result submission, z-score tracking, and corrective-action management.
Revol LIMS maintains the laboratory’s full scope of accreditation as a live, version-controlled method library ensuring every test report references the current approved method version.
Across mechanical, electrical, thermal, chemical, and dimensional testing and calibration laboratories, the same recurring operational challenges create accreditation risk and operational burden:
Maintaining GUM-compliant uncertainty budgets for every accredited method in spreadsheets — with component inputs, calculation logic, and version control across multiple analysts — is operationally unsustainable at any significant scope.
Calibration certificates and due-date schedules stored in filing cabinets and spreadsheets create systematic risk of out-of-calibration equipment being used in accredited testing without any real-time alert or interlock
PT participation records, z-score tracking, and corrective-action evidence scattered across email archives and spreadsheets create evidence gaps that surface as non-conformances at every accreditation assessment.
Managing method revisions, uncertainty updates, and scope additions without a version-controlled method library leads to out-of-date references in test reports and calibration certificates.
Non-conforming work records, customer complaints, and corrective-action evidence compiled manually across audit cycles fails to provide the systematic trend visibility that ISO 17025 clause 8.7 management review requires
Every accreditation reassessment triggers a manual scramble to assemble evidence for every clause of ISO 17025 from disconnected systems.
Testing and calibration laboratories face accreditation requirements under ISO/IEC 17025:2017 and its national adoptions, supported by ILAC guidance documents on measurement uncertainty, proficiency testing, and metrology traceability. Revol LIMS ensures continuous assessment readiness.
| Standard / Regulation | How Revol LIMS Supports Compliance |
|---|---|
| ISO/IEC 17025:2017 | Complete quality management system for testing and calibration: method management, measurement uncertainty, equipment calibration, personnel competency, proficiency testing, non-conformance, internal audit, and management review records. |
| ILAC P10 (Traceability) | Calibration certificate review workflow confirming measurement traceability to national standards, scope and uncertainty adequacy, and reference standard linkage for every piece of accredited equipment. |
| ILAC G8:09/2019 (Measurement Uncertainty) | GUM-compliant uncertainty budget management with Type A and Type B component tracking, combined uncertainty calculation, and expanded uncertainty statement generation in every report and certificate. |
| OIML (Legal Metrology) | Equipment verification and calibration records aligned to OIML recommendations for weighing instruments, measuring containers, and utility meters used in regulated trade applications. |
| EA-4/02 (Calibration Uncertainty) | Uncertainty budget structure and calculation methodology aligned to EA-4/02 M:2022 Expression of the Uncertainty of Measurement in Calibration for calibration laboratory certificate generation. |
| NABL (ISO 17025 India) | Configurable workflows and documentation aligned to NABL accreditation requirements under DAC-01 for testing and calibration laboratories seeking or maintaining NABL accreditation in India. |
| A2LA / UKAS / DAkkS / NATA | Flexible accreditation body-specific documentation configuration supporting supplementary requirements from major national accreditation bodies across North America, UK, Germany, and Australia. |
| ISO 9001:2015 | Quality management system documentation, customer focus, risk management, and continual improvement records for testing organisations with dual QMS certification requirements. |
| ALCOA+ Data Integrity | All measurement data, calibration records, and test reports are Attributable, Legible, Contemporaneous, Original, and Accurate — satisfying accreditation body technical assessors. |

| Feature | Revol LIMS | Legacy Vendors |
|---|---|---|
| Measurement Uncertainty | GUM - compliant budgets per method with automated calculation and auto-population into every report and certificate | Spreadsheet calculations per method; manual copy-paste into reports with no version control or review workflow. |
| Equipment Calibration | Automated — due-date alerts and out-of-calibration interlock across the full equipment inventory. | Spreadsheet due-date tracking with no system interlock; out-of-calibration equipment used in testing goes undetected. |
| Proficiency Testing | Full PT lifecycle — enrolment, blind sample, z-score tracking, CAPA, and accreditation body evidence generation. | PT participation records in email archives; corrective-action evidence gap at every assessment. |
| Scope Management | Live version-controlled — method library with scope change workflow and report method version linkage. | Scope documents in shared drives with no version control; out-of-date method references in reports and certificates. |
| Non-Conformance | Systematic — NCR logging, root-cause analysis, CAPA, and trend reporting for ISO 17025 clause 8.7 management review. | Non-conformance records in spreadsheets; no systematic trend visibility between audit cycles. |
| Implementation Time | 3–4 Months — with domain expertise in ISO 17025 accredited testing and calibration environments. | 9–12 Months with heavy custom configuration and onsite consulting requirements. |
Revol LIMS gives testing and calibration laboratories the infrastructure to document measurement uncertainty at scale, manage equipment calibration without gaps, track PT performance proactively, and present a complete evidence package at every ISO 17025 assessment.
