COTD: Unhinged And Uncalibrated

clipped from pajamasmedia.com

All of our Instruments must be removed and re-Certified once per year and signed off by a Certified Professional Testing Laboratory. They must be installed by Certified Instrument Technicians, who know the possible geological variables caused by improper placement of the Instruments on location. The Data Acquiaition Computer must be Certified by a professional once per year. And on it goes. These Certificates must be maintained and corelated to the Data time periods. All Data that is acquired outside of the above requirements is discarded.

I have taken teams of Scientific groups Offshore to install Instrumentation for Universities on several occasions, utilizing our Offshore property. I couldnt help but notice that, in reality, they use Non-Certified student/assistants as labor with no competent Professional supervision. Who performs due diligence on their equipment?
