| ASQ Announces Certified Calibration Technicians |
The Certification Board of ASQ (American Society for Quality) has announced that Dan Hallgren with American Gage and Timothy A. Donnan with Architectural Testing have completed the requirements to be named an ASQ-Certified Calibration Technician (ASQ CCT). These two individuals are staff members of IAS-accredited calibration laboratories. The certification is a requirement under the IAS Calibration Laboratory Accreditation Program (AC 204). As such, Dan Hallgren has reached a significant level of professional recognition, indicating a proficiency in and a comprehension of calibration tools and techniques that support a variety of quality-related systems and processes. Individuals who earn this certification are allowed to use “ASQ CCT” on their business cards and professional correspondence. “ASQ provides certification as a way to provide formal recognition to professionals who have demonstrated an understanding of, and a commitment to, quality techniques and practices in their job and career,” explains Peter Andres, ASQ president. “This is a great accomplishment and, although not a formal registration or licensure, it represents a high level of peer recognition.” A Certified Calibration Technician (CCT) is a professional who understands the principles and applications of metrology, calibration, and measurement systems, as well as the principles of uncertainty, basic quality systems, and the application of quality tools and standards in a calibration environment. In order to sit for a CCT examination, a candidate must have at least five years of training and on-the-job experience in one or more areas of the body of knowledge. Since 1968, when the first ASQ certification examination was given, more than 163,000 individuals have taken the path to reaching their goal of becoming ASQ-Certified in their field or profession, including many of who have attained more than one designation.
