Do you know what level of cal it was, if such exists in the UK? Or
was it the now prescribed ISO 71205? If 71025 that's fairly odd reporting.
In the USA, there are at least 3, ISO 9001, Z540 and 71025. The
first is the most common no-data cal, the last 2 should provide all
required documentation as prescribed by the accreditor, only the last
is internationally recognized.
Variation in "accredited" cal labs can exist if old standards are
still allowed.

On a related issue to the 3457A calibration, I was asked to review
an item at work last week (sorry can't say what or why). Looking at
compliance certification by two fully qualified, internationally
recognised labs, all looked well until I looked at the detail.
Things like "..all RELEVANT requirements of.." (my capitals) with no
list of what was relevant or any test report., details of only one
test when the standard needed a number under different conditions,
no record of the part or serial numbers of the unit tested. Others
had accepted the "certification" at face value. Unfortunatly if the
test house "customer" says "just do this bit" and the test house is
happy to put weasely words on the certifcate, then user beware.
