Functional Verification Service

Certified functional verification for your Agilent LC, GC, GC/MS and UV-Vis systems Today’s demanding quality standards make it tougher than ever for chemical, food and flavors, forensics, and contract testing labs to provide relevant proof of system performance and calibration – especially those that may be working under ISO 17025 or similar quality management conditions.

Agilent’s Functional Verification Service (FVS) delivers a factory recommended, metrology-based testing suite for your LC, GC, GC/MS and UV-Vis systems. It provides confirmation of the accuracy and calibration of critical system functions, from an industry leader in the regulated pharmaceutical sector – a leader that’s been ranked #1 in compliance services since 1995. In just a few hours, you’ll have full documentation and certification to support your quality initiatives or accreditation status.

ISO/IEC 17025 is used to assess labs that seek accreditation status. Its many guidelines include requirements that equipment be calibrated to establish that it meets the laboratory’s specification requirements.

Functional Verification Service – confidence in the reliability of your resultsMetrology testing of temperature, pressure, flow, wavelength, noise and drift, and other system-specific parameters

Certificate of performance provides evidence that your systems meet the accuracy and calibration specifications of your quality or ISO 17025 accreditation initiatives

Global lab-to-lab consistency thanks to Agilent’s standardized testing protocols and validated methodology

Cost-effective verification to assure confidence in the quality and reliability of your results

Additional optional tests available, increasing the flexibility of testing scope according to your needs
