XRF? Better know your state laws...

While recently scheduling a recertification of the Seiko 1000A HS Analyzer for an organization in Oregon, I was asked about Eastern Applied's x-ray vendor license for the state.  After looking into, I learned that several years ago, we did submit an application and were approved for work relating to industrial x-ray machines.  The work includes 'calibration, repair' and accepts us as a distributor of x-ray units in the state.

All users of X-ray Fluorescence (XRF) should be aware of their state laws relating to the systems.  While their are applicable Federal laws their are also individual state laws that require calibration and safety radiation surveys be performed at designated intervals.  Also important to many states is that an accredited service company is performing the work (Eastern Applied is Accredited to ISO/IEC) and sometimes, as was the case with Oregon, that the service company is registered with the state.

Please call our service headquarters (716-201-1115) or contact our Service Coordinator (xrfservice@easternapplied.com) if you have any concerns relating to your state.
