About Micro Quality Calibration

Expert Calibration Services in Los Angeles & Nationwide

Micro Quality Calibration Inc. (MQC) was founded in 1978 as a technology-oriented calibration, repair, testing, and first article inspection facility for precision measurement test equipment. From the beginning, MQC has focused on providing the highest-quality work product, timely execution, exceptional customer service, flexibility to meet each customer’s business needs, and, most of all, repeatability.

We Are An ISO 17025 Accredited Calibration Lab

MQC is fully accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 (with over 94 accredited procedures both at its facility and mobile facility), certified to ANSI/NCSL Z540.3-2006, ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994, ISO 10012-1, traceable to NIST, compliant to ISO 9000 series 1, 2, 3 & 4, and NASA Quality Publication 200-2, NAVAL BUREAU of WEAPONS Standards Laboratory Information Manuals, and, where applicable, other customers’ requirements. MQC is a woman-owned business that is designated as a small business in the state of California.

MQC offers the most complete service offering in the country, which has propelled MQC to an unprecedented organic growth of over 2,000 companies, primarily by word of mouth.

This growth can be attributed to two factors:

  • Our team’s daily preparation, pursuit for continuous improvement, and day-in and day-out hard work. Our daily preparation is the focus on our mission statement and our company’s core values: Quality of work product, meeting our calibration turnaround, and providing the best customer service we can every day. Over time, this approach to our daily activities has distanced ourselves from many of our competitors.
  • With the understanding that each and every customer has different needs, MQC looks to create a custom-tailored calibration solution based on the individual customer’s needs and utilizing the data analytics available to create the most cost-effective and efficient calibration campaign and then building reports that monitor the campaign.

Our goal is to have each and every relationship result in mutually exclusive win-win partnership.

MQC can improve total costs, have fewer suppliers, and streamline processes because we:

  • Utilize calibration data to drive operational and financial decisions
  • Identify inefficiencies and processes that can be improved
  • Automate and leverage technology
  • Have better control of assets
  • Use more effective communication
  • Have less downtime (fast and consistent turnaround)
  • Are able to use fewer vendors (less subcontracting)
  • Are invested in process improvement
  • Have Calibration Software and Tool Crib Software, which are fully integrated on a single platform
  • Are a one-stop-shop for calibration, repair, inspection, testing, and sales

We, at Micro Quality Calibration (MQC), call this the MQC difference.

To further expand on this concept, it’s important to define the definition of one-stop-shop and the definition of calibration services.

Providing calibration, inspection, repair, and more.

        • Determine training needs
        • Develop a better process/procedure
      • Identify applications in which incorrect instrument utilized
        • Recommend better performing and/or more durable instruments

MQC has had several opportunities to purchase additional calibration facilities in the past several years; however, the opportunity to reinvest in the company (capabilities, services, technology package, etc.) outweighed the benefit of expansion through acquisition. Our approach is thorough and exhaustive as we hope to find the right strategic partner that shares the same culture and approach to quality. MQC continues to be on the lookout for such an opportunity.

Presently MQC maintains its A2LA ISO/IEC 17025 Accreditation and meets and exceeds the requirements of ANSI/NCSL Z540-1-1994, ANSI/NCSL Z540.3-2006 among others. Our services are currently being offered through our custom-built, 22,000 square foot, seven-laboratory, environmentally-controlled, state-of-the-art facility located at 9168 De Soto Avenue, Chatsworth, CA, 91311. With the move came several scheduled upgrades in software, hardware, technology, customer web portal, and dual-factor authentication per DFARS 252.204-7012. Including the expansion of over 27-plus different capabilities spanning the following disciplines: Physical dimensional, chemical, bio-environmental, thermodynamics, aerodynamics, optical quantities, electromagnetics, time, frequency, mechanical, flow, mass, testing, and inspection.
