Industries
Built for regulated manufacturers, and the audits that come with them.
Different industries audit calibration differently. AS9100 reviewers look for Z540.3 decision rules. FDA inspectors trace 21 CFR records. Notified bodies check ISO 13485 supplier files. We speak all of them.
Aerospace & Defense
- AS9100
- Nadcap / AMS 2750
- ANSI/NCSL Z540.3
- DoD supplier requirements
American Gage was founded in 1968 supporting Orange County aerospace manufacturing, and aerospace remains in our DNA. When your customer-quality reviewer checks calibration evidence for a Nadcap-flagged process, our certificates hold up: every one documents the decision rule and test uncertainty ratio (TUR) that Z540.3-driven aerospace and defense customers require.
We perform AMS 2750 temperature uniformity surveys on ovens and furnaces, calibrate the dimensional workload that dominates machine shops (gage blocks, thread gages, micrometers, indicators), and note ITAR status on quotes when your program requires it.
Medical Device
- ISO 13485
- FDA 21 CFR Part 820
- Notified-body audits
Medical device quality managers need calibration suppliers whose evidence survives notified-body audits and FDA inspections. Our A2LA-accredited certificates document as-found/as-left data, measurement uncertainty, and unbroken NIST traceability, the package your supplier-qualification file needs.
We calibrate the full medical device manufacturing workload, from dimensional inspection tools to environmental chambers, and supply standard supplier-qualification packets (A2LA scope, COI, quality-manual excerpts) on request.
Biotechnology & Pharmaceutical
- FDA 21 CFR Part 211
- GMP / GxP
- USP
- ISO 8655
From pipettes calibrated to ISO 8655 (gravimetric and photometric) to balance calibration in a mass lab held to ±0.5 °C, we support the daily metrology load of GMP facilities — the instruments your quality system depends on, calibrated with audit-ready data.
GMP-trained process technicians are available for on-site work and staffing placements, and our process-troubleshooting services help you resolve deviations before they become findings.
Electronics, RF & Semiconductor
- ISO/IEC 17025 evidence
- IPC / J-STD environments
Our electrical lab runs Fluke MET/CAL automated procedures against precision reference standards, calibrating everything from 8.5-digit bench multimeters to spectrum analyzers, network analyzers, and signal generators in our RF racks.
For semiconductor and process tools, our molbloc/molbox gas-flow bench calibrates mass flow controllers with live setpoint control, a capability few independent SoCal labs offer.
General & Discrete Manufacturing
- ISO 9001
- IATF 16949 supplier requirements
Machine shops and discrete manufacturers across Southern California use us as their single calibration source: calipers and micrometers on the Monday pickup route, surface plates resurfaced in place, torque wrenches verified before the next audit.
No minimum account size, no call center. The same lab manager answers the phone whether you send five instruments a year or five hundred.
Your auditor has requirements. So do we.
Send the supplier-qualification template your procurement team uses. We fill it out and return it with the current A2LA scope, COI, and quality-manual excerpts.
