The Benefits of Using Our Products…
We as a manufacturer are fully equipped to calibrate equipment to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards and all products offered by us will match those NIST-maintained measurement standards. A NIST certification of compliance number is labeled on all our products and NIST certificates of compliance are available free of charge. You can view and print the NIST Certificate of Compliances for our products here online at any time.
- All materials used are FDA compliant and cleared for contact with food products (21 CFR 177.2470, 21 CFR 177.3297, and 21 CFR 175.105).
- All precision miniature ball samples meet AMBA, AFBMA, or ISO 3290 standards and tolerances.
- The precision miniature ball sample is completely sealed inside our tamper-proof products.
- Our low-density plastic carriers have absolutely no "product effect" and are “invisible” to detection and inspection systems — only the enclosed sample piece is detected.
- All products are clearly laser-marked (not engraved!) and color-coded for quick, error-free identification.
Why not use the same quality precision metal detector and x-ray inspection system validation standards that are used by the USDA (United States Department of Agriculture)?
