Inspection agency – periodic verification
Description
Periodic verification consists in ascertaining the maintenance over time of the metrological reliability of measuring instruments aimed at the protection of public trust.
Pietro Fiorentini created a completely independent division to perform the periodic verifications, provided for by Italian D.M. n. 93 of 21 April 2017, “Regulation concerning the criteria for the execution of subsequent metrological controls on gas meters and volume conversion devices“.
Pietro Fiorentini inspection agency complies with the requirements of UNI CEI EN ISO/IEC 17020: 2012, and is therefore accredited as a Type C Inspection Body for the periodic verification of gas meters and volume conversion devices associated with gas meters. This accreditation allows to perform maintenance activities at the same time of the periodic verification activity.
Pietro Fiorentini inspection agency is structured to respond to every need throughout the national territory; in fact, thanks to three Territorial Units located in the North-West, North-East and South, it can easily reach any location around Italy.
The Organization bases its activity on objective evidence obtained through an impartial, fair, valid and reliable evaluation, not influenced by other interests and without prejudice.
The organization is structured with tools that allow the execution of all activities with a very high degree of automation; moreover, each inspector is provided with his own digital electronic signature with which he validates the verification reports; thanks to an automated process, the documents are transferred to the attention of the Technical Manager of the Body who checks them and validates them with his own digital electronic signature in real time.
All the activities carried out by the inspectors can be evidenced by photographic documentation which is always filed together with the relevant inspection report.
